An accomplished artist with over 300 production credits, Katrin Souza made another indelible stamp on the progressive house scene in February 2019 with "A Dark Forest" on Droid9. As the Russian returns to Yin and Yang, the accompanying track, "Calm Before the Storm," receives remixes from Indonesia and Egypt.
An artist of Indonesian origin, Lily Pita has found herself on a rapidly rising upward trajectory. The Jakarta resident shot to notoriety with "Run Away" as part of the "Bedrock – Frequencies" compilation on John Digweed's label. A century of additional production credits have found themselves featuring on the likes of OLD SQL, ICONYC and Lauter Unfug, while a remix of Hot TuneiK's "Memories" in December 2018 was a notable highlight for Yin.
Now, the Lily Pita remix of "Calm Before the Storm" is an immaculately crafted affair that explores the themes inherent in Souza's work and expands on them with a raft of new melodic ideas. The changed key provides a darker edge to her track, as the lead motif from the original sparkles in new analogue majesty. Evolving effortlessly through metronomic beats and shuffling open hats, a running bassline builds in intensity into the third movement with open-filtered dynamism. The result is a highly impressive new interpretation.
