AE292 : MIIKKA LEINONEN - FIREWATCH

23 Oct 2017
Alter Ego welcomes back a legend in the Trance world and no stranger to the label. After taking some time off to do solo project and working as one half of Driftmoon for the past 4 years we are extremely proud to welcome back Miikka Leinonen serving up a fiery welcome home brew and reminds us of his talents for release 292 with the mighty 'Firewatch'. On remixes duties we have Vast Vision and July Eden.

The Original mix has a haunting atmosphere, a monster driving bassline and chunky percussion flow along with a lot of vibrancy. The breakdown starts of subtle and takes you on a journey of the gods with luscious keys building out into a huge melody and drop. Raw power and drive, outstanding come back for Miikka.

First on remix duties we have the mighty Stijn Coppieters aka Vast Vision who needs no introduction. Giving 'Firewatch' a slightly more uplifting take by pushing the tempo a little and giving a real hands in the air feel in the breakdown. Outstanding remix.

Second on remix duties we have a new talent to the label and most defiantly one to watch July Eden with a slightly chunkier progressive take on the original. Glitchy rhythmic undertones, tension building sequences, silky percussion and deep driving basslines completes and perfect package. A release not to be missed.
