Relic
The mastermind behind heavyweight Anjunabombs such as ‘Doormatica’, ‘Paper Jet’ and ‘Disco Belle’, Paul Keeley is rightly regarded as one of the label’s big hitters. Which is why, after what has been something of an extended hiatus, we’re glad to see him back and hitting the ground running in 2011 with the storming ‘Relic’. Amongst a glittering array of top-notch tracks on 'Anjunadeep:03', the Original Mix stands out as an essential piece of listening. Moody yet melodic, dark yet dreamy, its metallic synths oscillate between sharp and soothing, layered over a soft patter of bubbling, twinkling keys.
‘Relic’ gets the remix treatment from French producer Seb Dhajje, who is no stranger to throwing himself into reworking killer tracks having done so for the likes of R?yksopp and Way Out West previously. Dive into a plunge pool of pure tranquillity and bliss on this gorgeously dreamy, stripped-down mix, and prepare to be swept away on the crest of a wave of soft synths.
