 They've become household names in the progressive house scene over the last 2 years and have a stacked discography that boosts over 100 releases. They've remixed heavyweight producers Quivver and Anthony Pappa and have a torrid production output that consistently amazes. This week sees Hypnotic Duo back on Michael & Levan & Stiven Rivic's Mistique Music imprint for their first release of 2012. It's another stellar progressive house production entitled 'Earth' that comes with remixes from: Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic, MSZ and Loquai. The original mix kicks the package off with a subtley growing atmosphere and some nice old school, analogue sounding electronics. A brief build introduces a wicked set of rolling drums and you can feel the energy rising quickly. As several hypnotic synth elements enter the mix the track is pushing forward towards the drop with great momentum. The breakdown introduces a new dreamy atmosphere and simple but gorgeous synth hook. A angelic and heavenly sounding composition from Hypnotic Duo, a great way to kick off 2012 for the Lithuanian boys. Mistique label bosses and heavily respected production trio of Michael, Levan and Stiven Rivic provide the first remix and they've delivered something really serious here. Filled with dark overtones and heavily processed rolling drum elements along with a vibrate, acidic bass line this has turned out to be one of MIchael & Levan and Stiven Rivic's biggest and most intimidating productions. The breakdown builds tension with the waning synths growing in the background while an Underworld esqe twisted leads fades to the forefront for a huge crescendo which should send your dance floor into complete chaos. Monster remix from Michael, Levan and Stiven Rivic. Toronto's MSZ continues to grow with each production, he made huge improvements over 2011 and is now one of the biggest artists on Mistique fine roster. His remix of 'Earth' is rooted by another incredibly well shaped and well textured bass line that MSZ has become so known for. It's a massive, rumbling groove with sweeping atmospheric elements and dance floor ready drums. The breakdown works on the superb tension created from the wavering tones and it builds like a skyscraper for a huge payoff. Top remix from MSZ. The final two interpretations are provided by Loquai, his 'Deep' mix is certainly one of his coolest productions of all time. A sultry vibe that is very musical and soulful sounding with excellent sound design and always a great dance floor groove. Loquai's main mix has much more of a stripped down tougher vibe at the outset. As the composition builds the soft pads and smooth stabs give the piece a wicked late night feel that sounds ideal for a backroom or intimate venue. Both great mixes from Loquai and a top release for Mistique to kick off 2012.
