The "Silent Serbian" as I've dubbed him (since he doesn't seem to be interested in creating a presence aside from his fantastic music production), has sparked the interest of 4 other inspired artists to remix his recently released tech house track "Dream In A Dream". This remix album will mark the 36th release for Southern California's Electronic Music Label Zero Digital, and has tracks by Amir Abbasi, Brajan, Matteo Monero, and Projekt Inertia.
The original "Dream In A Dream" track features technical but dreamy ambient sound highlighted by bouncy boops and bops to progress into a more spacey and robotic melody. It's the kind of song that would serve as a self-reflective interlude to something more aggressive or a beautiful soundscape that you would expect during the self-realization period of a movie soundtrack.
Amir Abbasi's remix has more of a punchy beat and the dreaminess turns more dark robotic and extraterrestrial. Brajan's version starts off more minimalistic and the build happens slowly with moments of near-silence; very calming, introspective, and trancey. Matteo Monero goes even more ambient with nothing but a very mellow beat that is introduced almost 1/3rd into the track, but I enjoy the brightness of sound and positive almost psychedelic interpretation of Nash's original sounds, very uplifting and twinkling. It's something that would be perfect paired with a calm desert sunrise. And finally, Projekt Inertia provides probably the most danceable of all the remixes with a bouncier beat and interesting echo effect on some of the sounds. It still holds a lot of the ambient elements, but has that little extra techy kick that makes you want to move your feet.
In all, it's quite a well-rounded take on a single, thoughtfully designed track whose elements have been interpreted to suit several different moods and environments. I'm happy to see that Nash Donson has evoked this kind of creativity from a unique range of producers. The "Dream In A Dream" Remix album is now available on Beatport from Zero Digital Records.
