Progressive House | Lift Off #008
Posted by Middy on February 9, 2013
Finally after a little longer than usual break, the 8th edition of Lift Off is here and as per usual we have packed it filled with gems. This Lift Off marks the first official contribution from our new author Malcolm or “Mel”, so look for more great tracks from him. The first track above is the vocal mix of Anakyn’s single “Point Black”, which previously saw a edit from Nicky Romero and adds another harmonic dimension to the track.
Beatport: Anakyn feat. Fabio Lendrum – Point Blank (Love Is Blind)
DubVision are among the best at coming up with progressive melodies and this remix of “Summertime” is no different. They stick to the same winning formula of “All By Myself”, “You & I” etc and deliver a peaktime, big room remix. Would like to see them switch it up a little, but for now it is working.
Paris Blohm delivers this emotional, uplifting track as a tribute to his sister who recently passed away. Female vocals add to the superb melody crafted by the young up and comer.
This remix from the Chainsmokers of Jonsi’s (singer of Sigur Ros) “Around Us” has been incredibly successful with its addictive melody and well placed stutters. This is a must have.
Progressive House | Anakyn – Point Blank (Nicky Romero Revisit)

Coming off of his like massive collab with Nervo, “Like Home“, Nicky Romero gives us a slight retouch of “Point Blank” from Anakyn, which has received support from the might Pete Tong as it serves as a launch point for the restart of his FFRR label. Nicky Romero keeps much of the melodic structure, but just as any skilled producer with a fine tuned ear does, he finds the places that can be improved and adding an extra dimension in the low end to give the track the edge it needed.
