Alex Klingle 'Colors Back' (Marcus Santoro remix) (Enhanced Progressive)
Canadian producer Alex Klingle describes his music as “melody-driven progressive trance layered with organic instrumentation and intricate electronic elements”. Filled with guitars, plucks and rolling bass, his 2016 release ‘Colors Back’ was certainly that. By adding atmospherics and pads and making more of the bassline, Marcus Santoro’s progressive trance remix builds on those ingredients to make for a lush, chord-heavy arrangement, but although the release also includes reworks from Matt Fax, Urbandawn and Clear Skys, it’s the instrumental remix that’s seeing heavy support from Above & Beyond.
