Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Woody van Eyden with Tiff Lacey – I See You (Original Mix + Matt Bukovski Remix)
Alex M.O.R.P.H., a name well known in the industry has flawlessly given some huge hits lately. He banged the dance floor when he gave an awe-inspiring and a very bizarre set at A State of Trance 600 at Madison Square Garden in New York. With the block-rocking beats of ‘Bang’ topping major charts all over, he made it obvious that flirting with new styles has become a convention of him. ‘I See You’ is another calm and warming tune by him and the Matt Bukovski Remix has already hit major radio shows like A State of Trance. The melodic sound of I See You doesn’t come from Alex alone, but this time, joining him are legendary trance producer Woody van Eyden and the attention-grabbing British singer-songwriter Tiff Lacey. Taken from his critically acclaimed album ‘Prime Mover’ we have this dream team combination.
The lush beatific vocals of Tiff Lacey, the deep, progressive beats of Woody van Eyden and the gleaming melodies of Alex M.O.R.P.H., make ‘I See You’ a stunning piece of music to enjoy this summer. The beautiful and typical sound of Alex is quite noticeable in the track and Woody’s progression just adds to the shine of the shimmering diamond. With an uplifting touch to it, we are sure that it will be a part of your playlist for a very long time.
Where the original mix is a bit down tempo and soothing, the Matt Bukovski Remix is a banging one that will blow up your mind. Vocals running greatly on hard and progressive bassline and much more uplifting then the previous, it’s an ideal track for playing in a club to boost up the audience.
Released on A State of Trance Recordings, this exhilarating melody is out now on Beatport and you can grab your copy here.
