Paratroupr (Dave Aju Remix)

Roman Stange's latest for Auralism embraces warped, radiant melodies and house music roots, all framed in different contexts. The original mix of Paratroupr sits atop a 4/4 chassis, but with programming that is more IDM-styled in construction. Bright pads -- seemingly culled from a classic house tune and then cut up and reconfigured, bounce and undulate above a layer of static while sinewy textures play over the straightforward kick. The minimal mix reduces the sonic elements and warps the proceedings further into leftfield and with both versions, the strength lies in the interplay between the abstract and the immediate. With his remix, Elon transforms the track into straightforward, ambient-tinged house with plenty of percussive nuance, and San Francisco producer Dave Aju turns in a cut that works equally well in headphones as it does on the floor, emphasizing vivid spatial elements -- a jagged, simple bass line, jazzy hi-hat shuffle, and ethereal pads floating in the top of the mix.
