Anna Lunoe has been pretty hot the last few years. After exploding out of Australia and into the American DJ scene, she has a had a nonstop year of shows, festivals, remixes, and hot tracks. After setting the scene on fire, she sings about breathing it on her new single ‘Radioactive,’ which she released five months ago. Following the release comes six official remixes of the track. Here’s what to expect out of this little anthology of bass music.
First up, Sam Armstrong’s rendition is comprised of both the softer ethereal side of the single, but also the juicy bass. As it is throbbing, deeper trap elements are lobbed around with a rambunctious rhythm section. The tight snare keeps the things twitchy, and lively. This all makes for the cheekiest of this collection.
This is followed by Gerry Gonza’s take on ‘Radioactive’ which is a fresh, funky tribute that is guaranteed to excite with its ballooning bass line. So groovy, its bouncy synths are irresistible as they contrast with sections of Lunoe’s angelic vocals. The deep house sounds of the track gives it a party vibe, and its thick milkshake bass is sure to be most delicious to devour on a dance floor.
Before pumping up the beat to a vibrant, dreamy state, Chace’s intro is the most lyrically focused sample in the playlist. It was really refreshing to hear how the beat and the vocals where paired in a cha-cha smooth rhythm creating a curious get-down. The ferocity of this version of ‘Radioactive’ is quirky-weird, and over too soon; like a burst of light through dark clouds.
The most dramatic and genre bending of the mixes in STFU’s track. In this production rock, electronic, and classic string sounds are manipulated into a hybridized thrasher. What is really impressive is the way this track comes across as ultra modern with its morphing synthesized flutes, and expansive, continental bass sounds into a harmonious couple. Towards the end of the track listen for the flute synths that are grafted onto the vocals as the bass purrs. Its inventive and thrilling.
The Jaded remix is both soft and hardcore. This polar production offers attention to the delicacy of each sound, and then all into a blender and drop-kicks the bass, heating up the track into an aggressive pace. The intro is like a lullaby version of ‘Radioactive’, and draws out each clear cutting sound until the percussion spins things fast and furious reaching the ledge and brings things down into a tail spin. Enjoy the drop.
To wrap things up MCLS’s remix supercharges the track’s club components and extorts them. By balancing Lunoe’s vocals slow and steady against a more active percussion line MCLS creates a simmering single. Swells of emotion keep the energy going from being to end, and delivers a refreshing jam to get lost in the potent bass, and funky effects.
