If you haven’t heard Edwin Van Cleef before.. you’re in for a treat (And no, not the Edwin Van Cleef that used to own people in the WoW beta –he one-shot my lock at the time ;_;). He’s slowly been sneaking up as one of my favorite producers and remixers to look out for. I haven’t posted him up before (always meant to, but just dropped the ball..) but he hit us up with his new remix this week, and now I can make a relevant post about him.
Yay!
His latest is a synth-bliss remix of DatA (who, if you’re following along at home, has gotten some Res Lovin’ in the past). Its very much a sunrise/sunset kinda track and gets people unassumingly bouncing along to the beat. Man, so the track came on again as I’m proofing my post, and I’m digging it more and more –totally a track you’ll need to play a few times before you pass judgment.

His remix of “Heartbeats” is also one of the best remixes of this year, IMO. Its a about a half a year old or so now? But I still rock out to it all the time and always get people coming up to me asking what it is.
Just.
Stellar.

As an added bonus, here’s some original production work as well. It hearkens back some to that Kavinsky sound, but “Tracer” throws in a bit of chip with a bit more of a funkier bassline then what you normally get when that comparison is made.
Also, here’s his track “Radius”.. its a bit similiar to “Tracer”, but it ups the chip synths a bit and is a lot more trancey.
So sail on over to his MySpace and leave a hot one.. and remember: don’t fuck up the pull!
