Naming themselves after a Pixies song, UK based Planet of Sound arrive to Armada with the warm and fuzzy ‘We are Together‘. Featuring a very special release that combines the Original masterpiece with three other stellar remixes by three versatile and gifted producers in the guise of H.O.S.H, Jody Wisternoff and Piemont. The track got plenty of attention at the 2013 UK Apple iTunes Festival and even reached the top spot on Hype Machine, as more than a few could connect to its caressing sound signatures.
You can purchase the entire collection i.e. Original + Remixes here.
The Original features a wonderful assembly of elements and instruments ranging from whistle samples, light strings, warm atmospherics, groovy basslines and gentle percussive work. The track certainly touches each sense as it ascends and descends in tempo and combination, resulting in a sense of wonder and amazement. An official video was recently uploaded by Armada, that features a young British man looking for an apartment in a somewhat curious apartment. Check out the video below!
German born Holger Behn aka H.O.S.H. certainly knows how to curate a remix. The minimalistic producer uses limited elements and effects in his rework of the smooth rendition as he molds the track into a terrain of his own liking. Adding his own unique drumline, he adds plenty of Berlin Mojo to the track and turns into a true Club stomper with its cherishing melody and dark basslines.
English Electronica legend Jody Wisternoff also provides his magical touch to ‘We are Together’ as he infuses a challenging breakbeat drumloop within the track, keeping most of the elements intact. Charging the track with plenty of industrial sounds and stadium-esque effects, Jody lifts the track from its grounded-ness and elevates into a summer festival anthem.
German duo Piemont have their final say on this special release as they provide the closing remix on this phantasmic collection. Piemont inherently transform the track into an underground moonlighting anthem, as they infuse circling atmospherics and combine it with the original whistle sample and string work, before a tribal-ish drumloop takes the track in a different direction. It’s a wonder how many faces one single track can have, and Piemont’s face for the track is as dark and dirty as it gets!
