John B Ft Code 64
The Journey
Beta Recordings
Worldwide release 25 March 2013
Following the rich vein of melodic, star-gazing sonic form set by his previous single – the blistering n†beautiful ‘Love Again†– ‘The Journey†is yet another highlight from his Mixmag acclaimed album highlight ‘Light Speedâ€. Opening with the trembling, angels-from-heaven style intro, itâ€s an instant flashback to the heady days of Sasha & Digweed at their prime; delicate, enrapturing, dreamy, euphoric. A perfect set opener, a perfect set finale, a perfect moment for deep, shivering reflection mid-set… Itâ€s an instant ear-catcher, whenever you drop it.
As the intro develops, weâ€re snapped away from our progressive reverie and slammed into the future with Johnâ€s robust beats, trademark crisp electro bassline and floating synth work. By the time Swedish artist Code 64â€s perfect vocal delivery enters the mix all watches in a five mile radius are automatically set to ‘rush o†clockâ€. Executing an impeccable balance between dancefloor power and genuine song-writing, itâ€s yet another reason why John B is respected as such a unique artist. Not just in drum & bass, but the wider world of electronic music.
Remix-wise youâ€re in for a treat as Beta have invited the unstoppable Metrik to the fold for a very special remix! A firm fave at the Hospital camp, Metrik is unavoidable right now. Leading the charge of D&Bâ€s next generation with an ability to fuse raw production power with the subtleties of melody and vocal dynamics, heâ€s the perfect remix candidate for ‘The Journeyâ€. Paying respect to Johnâ€s original, Metrikâ€s given the bass a major beef boost, tweaked the arrangement with his own space-bound arpeggios and bolstered the beats. Where Johnâ€s original was a moment of dancefloor reflection, Metrikâ€s version is a moment of dancefloor detonation.
Complete with an acoustic version and all manner of instrumentals and radio edits, thereâ€s an ideal solution for every platform, every club, every time of the night.
