Viva Recordings is proud to present “Same Ground,” the latest offering from Portuguese artist Pedro Faria (Elektronic Vibes, Souled Records), featuring Kavina Ladean on vocals. The original is a stompy foray into house territory, with a strong, dreamy synth line that underscores Ladean’s vocal work beautifully. Pezzner (Freerange, Smoke N’ Mirrors) follows up with a captivating remix, transforming the original into a cerebral, dark and jazzy deep house cut, taking the listener on a subtle journey through sound. The remix by Futurewife (PYT Records, Brilliantine) picks up the tempo and provides us with a more tech-house interpretation of the track, while still maintaining its deep and soulful essence. Viva label head Neiro (Uniting Souls, Chillin) contributes a nice rework as well, chopping up Ladean’s vocals to maximum effect and sculpting a strong bass line to keep this track moving ahead perfectly. Provoke Rain (Labella Recordings) rounds out the release with a final remix, by the far the most ‘techno’ of all the remixes. Dark and stripped down synth work, coupled with bizarre and otherworldly vocal lines create a track ready for the weirdest hours of the night.
