Alejandro Manso - Memories of Space (Remixes EP) incl. Ryan Luciano, Soulfire, Hernan Serrao [SMD097]

The 97th release on Suffused Music finds the label revisiting Alejandro Manso's 'Memories of Space' with a brand new set of remixes. Originally released in March of this year the three track EP showcased the Mexican producer's fresh approach to progressive house and is still regarded as his career best work. Now we see Suffused Music injecting new life in the tracks with brand interpretations from Hernan Serrao, Ryan Luciano and Soulfire.

The first interpretation is provided by Hernan Serrao who puts his own hypnotic twist on 'XVII' which was the EPs final selection. The Buenos Aires based producer is making his debut on Suffused Music and is fresh off his 'To The Finals' single released courtesy of System Recordings in March of this year. Hernan's pulsating grooves are incredibly powerful and a chain of descending bass stabs provides some deadly hooks. A well constructed break provides additional drama before a stripped down portion of the groove cuts through the atmosphere and on to a great conclusion. 

The second interpretation is provided by Ryan Luciano who deconstructs 'Hd33564' into a musical techno gem. The UK producer and Light Digital boss has been on fine form this year with recent remixes for Stripped Digital and Detour Musique being just a few of the highlights. 'Hd33564' was the lead piece on Alejandro's EP and rightfully so as it's tough, hypnotic style was well in line with today's progressive techno movement. Ryan has added his own unique musical twists to the production all while keeping the heads down, hypno vibe which made the original so appealing. Subtle melodic hooks and a layer of sparkling electronics makes for an enchanting ride, and one which is certainly Ryan's most unique creation to date. 

The third and final interpretation is provided by Soulfire who is making his first appearance on Suffused Music. The UK born Australia based producer heads up the excellent Soulfire Downloads imprint and here reworks 'Omen' into a groovy tech house bomb. Backed by a shuffly foundation, spacious drums and a smooth rhythmic complement the late night sensibility is high on this one. A glimmering pad adds a timeless emotive quality and a band of fresh effects adequately assaults the senses. A top notch interpretation from Soulfire that's sure to please a variety of cross genre DJs out there. It rounds out an excellent remix EP from Suffused Music. Don't miss it.
