Review

Original Mix
Jorn did a brilliant job giving Stan Void's "Transience" a proper club rework last year. I am eager to hear this original and so hopefully he won't dissapoint me. Fastlane is tight club trancer with a heavy bass, sizzling synth lines, and a delicious build-up. It's not the most interesting track I have heard this year but I think it would really work wonders to hear it on a proper sound system.

Robert Nickson Remix
A little more energetic and pumping than the original and the kick is slamming! I think Nickson actually succeeds pushing the lead more forward than Jorn did. Actually, I think that those two versions combined would make the perfect version of this track. Still, great energy and lovely breakdown created by Robert Nickson!

Rozza Remix / Slow Motion Remix
Rozza delivers two mixes this time. He has done some huge, and in my opinion his best, remixes for Infrasonic in the past. Some might remember his remix of "The Path" and "Imagine". It does not take long for me to realize that this one is right up my alley - as per usual Rozza covers the original ideas with his sticky, warm and magnificent melodies. I have always felt that Rozza needed some more space in his productions but still, the outstanding melodies makes up for that in the end. The slower has (duhh) been slowed down a bit and has a few delicious touches which differentiates it from the other Rozza mix. The lovely female vocal lays a perfect finish on the track and again, as in the other mix you can expect great melodies.

Haris C Remix
Big room trancer from Haris here. Liking his use of hi hats and glitches. These contributes to make the production a little interesting for the listener and sort of gives it a unique touch. Pay attention to the crystal clear pads and the tight and pumping bass. Haris also succeeds in bringing out some fantastic melodies in this track. Worth a listen for sure.

Verdict
I feel a little biased praising the Rozza mix given the fact that I like his style so much. But, I have been listening to the different mixes over and over and my conclusion still stands clear - the Rozza mix is the winner. It has so much more feeling and depth compared to the other versions. I was dissapointed with the Nickson mix to be honest and only thing I could really appreciate was the main lead in his version. Original, Haris C and Rozza Remix are strongly recommended if you dig uplifting trance!
