Mark Eteson & Zirenz - The Hymn mp3 album

Yet again Anjunabeats provides its audience with an audio feast, courtesy of Godskitchen resident DJ Mark Eteson, classical vocalists/producers Zirenz, and the ever-prolific DJ/producer Activa, which is a rare but truly epic all British affair. The original mix is a pure delight of trance heaven, tweaked and tuned over the last 18 months, it develops into a vast production that is simply incredible and almost impossible to explain, other than perhaps by pointing out some of the key derivatives within the sound. The original starts with a fairly typical pumping 137bpm bassline and some teasing effects. But it is not until around the one-minute mark before you are introduced to a snippet of that uber orchestral vocal, rasping synth and low frequency bass note, which really starts to give you that euphoric rush. The vocal runs throughout the build-up as a short looping sample, progressing with a soaring synth and that unforgettable crunching bassline. The breakdown is a classically inspired deep and dreamy soundscape that forms an all-time 'epic trance' moment, with a hugely religious and quite haunting aurora - but truly outrageous bespoke audio texture. This is then completely smashed into pieces by the re-introduction of the rasping synth and punchy bassline, the vocals are then used as chance to take a short breather before the final main room blend reaches its peak-time moment. Activa provides the ideal mix here with a fabulously uplifting melodic piece of euphoric trance, which is ideal for achieving that feel-good vibe and crowd pleasing burst of adrenaline. A low frequency bassline, magical synth, and heavily looped vocals are married together in perfect harmony. Providing the listener with a mix, which is worthy of a separate release and ultimate respect, especially when one considers the difficulty in reworking such a unique track.
