From the album: Translucent Worlds

Montane District explores and furthers their sound with the use of new structures, more subtle beats and instrumentation while working outside the boundaries of strictly ambient music. Describing their sound as "translucent music" they have aimed for each track to be a journey through its own Translucent World.

Originally released on the R&S Records sub-label Global Cuts in 1993, ‘20HZ’ by Capricorn became the breakthrough track for its creator Hans Weekhout, a Dutch multi-instrumentalist who started his career recording and mixing for international artists such as Falco and Ian Gillan.

With its memorable combination of those rolling and thunderous marching drums, glacial marimba-like melodies and a tense, trance inducing atmosphere, ‘20HZ’ has become one of dance music’s most enduring tracks.  Hitting the singles charts in Holland, Belgium, UK and France on release, and still being played week in and week out across clubs and festivals thirty years later, it’s fair to say that Capricorn’s snare drum driven hit can be classed as a bone fide classic.

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of this behemoth anthem, R&S Records have enlisted an eclectic line-up of artists to add their own touches to a suite of remixes. Dutch composer and Apollo Records artist Andert Tysma reshapes ‘20HZ’ into a sublime ambient piece, accompanied by some tender piano work and soaring strings, whilst Italian DJ/producer Marco Lys stays true to the original, deploying a fresh and modern take and aiming it squarely at the dancefloor.

London based producer Vromm has a penchant for the UK bass and beats culture that has influenced him since the late 1980s, and his remix of ‘20HZ’ really spins the original upside down, deconstructing and rebuilding over granite hard beats.  And it’s left to legendary DJ Carl Cox to round off this broad remix package.  As a DJ who helped break this record on its original release, it’s befitting that the global dance icon puts his stamp firmly onto it, jacking up the drums and turning up a big room monster version, ‘oh yes, oh yes’!

Bit of a longer one today. I managed to rescore this documentary short from The Cue Tube in a single session. Probably I'll want to redo it later: I don't have the spotting sheet yet and this version definitely favours speed of composition over narrative focus, which I've only painted in fairly broad strokes.
