One of the standout tracks from the album was 'Raindrop' which Mesmeric Records has licensed and brought to the dance floor with huge remixes from Redanka and Andre Sobota. 

Andre Sobota has been one of this year's top progressive house producers, his Drum & Bass background has served him really well as he's such a unique take on progressive club music and his bass lines are always absolutely amazing. Andre's main mix leads the package off with a wobbly bass line and some spectacular processed guitar bits from the original. It's an epic, grand sounding composition to say the least. The vocals sound absolutely incredible and the granular chords that fill the breakdown are filled with emotion and character. This is progressive house music in the purest sense of the term and it's absolutely rocking. Amazing mix from Andre who has become one of our favorite producers this year. A dub has also been supplied by Andre as well for the less vocally inclined. 

One of the more storied producers in the history of progressive house has been Andy Holt aka Redanka. From his legendary partnership with Chris 'Tarrentella' Bourne as Tarrentella : Redanka at the beginning of the century, his collaboration with New York City club kings Danny Tenaglia and Satoshi Tomiie as DATAR and Graffik respectively, all the way through to his recent work with rock icons U2, the stamp of quality and consistency has been firmly imprinted on his musical output. His client list reads like a who's who of the music industry - Fatboy Slim, Faithless, Happy Mondays, INXS, Snow Patrol, Delerium, Darren Emerson and the aforementioned U2 are just a few of the global superstars who have over the years utilized Andy's production skills to maximum effect. For his 'Liquid Sunshine Vocal' interpretation of 'Raindrop' Andy has delivered funky, big room club interpretation that stretches genres quite nicely. The funk-laden plucky bass line and modern day club sensibilities sound as fresh as ever. The guitar licks serve as the ultimate dance floor hooks and they work in perfect unison with the bass line for the ultimate groove. The break presents an escalating tension with the ultimate big room payoff and epic finale that just oozes class. Top stuff from Andy and great to see him back working on a lot more projects recently! Andy's 'Cloudburst' interpretation has one of the best intro's we've heard all year, it comes with the same funky, big room sensibility as his 'Liquid Sunshine Vocal' mix but with a dubbier and slightly more stripped down approach which will perfect for those more underground floors. Top release from Mesmeric who are doing an outstanding job pushing modern sounding prog house back to the forefront of the scene.
