Release Note ......::
The legend that is Airwave is up next in our year long remix series celebrating
our quarter of a century at the forefront of electronic music. There can be no
doubt that much of our collective success is down to this guy. Since his humble
beginnings in the early-mid nineties to an internationally acclaimed artist, DJ
and producer, he has never lost his vision and has stayed true to his fans and
his Bonzai family. Of course there have been ups and downs, but Laurent powered
through, releasing quality sounds at every turn. His very much revered, turn of
the millennium track - Lightspeed - propelled his status to even greater
heights while delighting his army of dedicated fans and attracting new
attention from a younger generation. For this special remix Laurent teamed up
with long term studio partner Marnik Braeckevelt under their progressive tech
guise - Antidote, to deliver a wonderfully crafted slice of pure mesmeric
sounds. Marnik has carved out his place in electronic music history thanks to
his hugely impressive CV which saw him working for N.E.W.S. and Antler Subway.
He soon found himself working with Bonzai where he helped shape the label and
the sound as we know it today. With a ton of remix, writing, compiling and
arrangement credits under his belt, he certainly knows how to work a track.
Together as Antidote the guys have been churning out some seriously impressive
cuts since 2002. They hit the ground running with the solid progressive trancer
Paragliders, that always got the floors moving and the duo quickly gained a
solid rep within the scene, and it's no wonder given the level of experience
and expertise on the table. While the original is a track steeped in
beautifully crafted atmospherics delivering a mesmerizing groove that hooks you
in for the duration, this newest version from Antidote stays true and takes
things in the same vein albeit with a more prominent pumping groove. The world
got its first taste of this one on Studio Brussel's The Greatest Switch Bonzai
Special (6th October 2017) with Marnik and Laurent in attendance with Fly,
Franky Kloeck and DJ Ghost. Right from the off we get drawn into the powerful
groove made up of solid kicks and bright percussions and laced with gritty
basses. The energy levels rise as the main bassline takes shape while the
synths bring an intense vibe. The main melody brings its melancholy that allows
us to lose ourselves and fly high. A beautifully electrified progressive
monster that will most definitely not disappoint.
