DESERT TRAX ARTISTS RE-ENVISION CLASSIC ON “WHISPERS OF OUR ANCESTORS” : LISTEN

[News]

Electronic music label has had a steady stream of releases in 2018 with a rich discography of deep chill, psychedelic bass, and world beat releases from the likes of Random Rab, Luke Mandala, and Living Light.

The sonic collection features distinctive and sonic remixes from nine talented producers. Featuring Sarah West’s ethereal vocals and Robert Mirabal’s native Taos flutes, this deep, meditative, and mysterious soundscape has now been reimagined into a kaleidoscope of grooves and textures remixed by some of the top talents from the Desert Trax roster and beyond.

The compilation touches on a myriad of different sounds and genres including broken-beat chillout, IDM, downtempo, psychedelic bass, and even techno inspired progressive house. Connected by the defining features of the original track—especially the chanting and flutes—each remix uses distinct beat and bass elements to shape their tracks and explore the boundless layers hidden within the source material. The compilation opens with Moon Frog’s 808-infused kick and rolling hi-hats, a new twist from the hang drummer Bart Mills. The gentle tribal grooves of Ancestral Elephants give way to Jacob Paskus’ lush downtempo synthesis as Stratusphere.

Master Minded delivers an intricately glitchy halftime take that brings the song into a contemporary production space. Desert Trax core member Griffin Paisely offers his unique tech house perspective and percussionist Scott Stirling leans into his strengths on a Drumspyder tech house remix. Momentology & DJ Taz Rashid contribute with two unique remixes, an upbeat dance beat and a chilled out yoga dub. The compilation closes with perennial label favorite Erothyme’s perfectly delicate and lush soundscape.

“The Whispers of Our Ancestors” remix compilation will be officially released Friday, December 14th on most major digital platforms via Desert Trax.
