PAN-POT, MARTIN EYERER, ABBY
Muddy Walls
Label: Riverside Studios Berlin
In less than two short years, Riverside Studios has grown
into one of Berlin's most hyped studio collectives, housing
some of the biggest and brightest artists such as Booka
Shade, Pan-Pot, Martin Eyerer, David August, Abby, Florian
Meindl and Stephan Hinz to name a few. From this
collective comes a stellar collaboration between Pan-Pot,
Martin Eyerer and Abby titled 'Muddy Walls' which we used
to host a remix competition for some up and coming talent.
We have chosen eight winners from a large pool of
submissions and today we are very excited offer them to
you to download and play.
The original 'Muddy Walls' is as deep and passionate as it is
heavy and driving. Laced with warm sub-bass, alluring
strings, and the graceful voice of Abby's vocals, it is a
journey into the elegant side of techno. First up is the
Marcelo Wallace remix and it is a dazzling twist on the
original, staying true to the original vibe, but landing
somewhere in the realm of deep tech house that would fit
perfectly as the sun rises or sets. Next up is PALMFooD's
delicate remake leaning into the realm of deep house with
it's perfectly executed organic percussion and lush sonics.
Christine Lau is up next and this remix takes the original
into the sentimental space with pitched down vocals and
long ardent strings creating a perfectly executed tech-
house burner.
Jan Neddermann's remix is a delicate retouch created by
utilizing warm sub textures and sparkles of cosmic synth
dashes perfect for the early mornings in a deep house set.
Up next is KROKS' remix and it is surely alone in style as it
is a massive wall of sound sitting somewhere between big
room EDM and Glitch-Hop that any big name DJ today
would use for a supremely memorable moment. Polarboi's
remix is another one that lands alone in it's style as it blurs
the lines between Indie Dance, Nu Disco and Tech-House
by blending uplifting guitars and live drums to create a tune
that would fit anytime and any place. Following is John
Lead's remix and it's a classic Tech-House bomb with
looping vocal snippets laid over a bouncy bassline and rich
melodic textures.
