"dreams" was a track that i liked a lot when it came out and i played the chus & ceballos remixes extensivly in my dj sets. i liked the tribal meets progressive house sound and it worked well with that melody. i didn't know then what the origin of the lead was but i had heard of it before. i felt a bit stupid when it fell into place that it was jazz standard "caravan" that rivera had borrowed.
"caravan" always had a sort of oriental feel to it and chus & ceballos productions fit to it like hand in glove and i thought it was the definite version. then i heard rasmus fabers versions and much like when faber rejigged junior jack's "e samba" into something proper, this made sense. faber has a tendancy to go the extra mile and bring more musical content into something that has been sampled or revisioned.
for this one he digged deeper into the jazz origins of "caravan" and fuses it with a really well produced funky house track. faber is one that works often with latin sounds and for this one he brought on a plucky guitar but there is also a flute, some keys and cracking percussion. all of this wonderful musical content built under a round bassline that really packs punch.
faber also created a dub that removes "caravan" out of the frame and many of the sounds that he brought on. it still operates under the chords of the original but keeps it simpler and it's also well done. i actually wrote this entry to write about the dub but after repeated listens to the main mix, i had a change of heart but they are equally strong. they are meant for two different rooms really.
