Friskybeat Records is excited to showcase Andre Stepanian's latest single, “Take Flight.” Based in Vancouver, Andre is a talented composer who has created a polished, jazzed-up dance groove. The foundation of this song is stylish guitar phrases and melodies, which are performed with smooth, modern effects. The upbeat feel is created by the rhythmic bounce, funky bass, syncopated chords, and arpeggiated synths, resulting in an elegant composition that transports the listener to a special destination.
DJ and producer Luis Machuca has provided a remix of Andre's track. He has stripped down the composition and rebuilt it with fresh bass and synth lines, along with plush new chords. The remaining guitars have been sampled and enriched with lengthy reverbs and delays, expanding time and space. This version has a deeper house feel, with a pumping kick drum, layered hi-hats, and frisky Latin percussion rhythms that are sure to send the dance floor into late-night bliss.
