Embers (Remixes) by Eric Lune

Madloch's Sound Avenue imprint continues a strong spring season by showcasing new interpretations of Eric Lune's ‘Embers'. Originally released in October of 2019, it's smooth yet euphoric moods saw play from Hernan Cattaneo, while also being one of the Aussie artist's best selling tracks of the year. Now looking to revive this musical gem for the warm months ahead, Sound Avenue invites Death On The Balcony and GMJ to re-imagine the track.

Sitting at the heart of the organic house underground are Death On The Balcony. Arriving on the scene more than a decade ago, the UK duo have compiled an impressive resume, highlighted by releases on All Day I Dream, Akbal Music, Do Not Sit On The Furniture and Kindisch. In what has proven to be a fruitful creative partnership the duo continue to earn the praise of their contemporaries and tastemakers alike. Now following a remix for Pablo Bolivar's Seven Villas imprint, Death On The Balcony debut on Sound Avenue with a gorgeous take on ‘Embers'. Coming in smooth and percussion, it's a rich, soulful and incredibly charming nine minute journey. Redolent tones, ghostly vocal fragments and exotic drums build an inviting narrative, as strummy hooks and melodic flurries steal the air at opportune moments. Perfectly timed, the main break brings a greater sense of calm, a heartfelt interlude of sorts, before a stripped down section provides an energy bridge into a percussive drop and charismatic finale.

Completing the release and providing the second and final interpretation of ‘Embers' is GMJ who makes his label debut. Based in Melbourne, Australia GMJ aka Gavin Martin has been a primary figure in the progressive house scene for over a decade. His passion for deep and emotive electronic music has seen him land releases on the industry's most esteemed imprints. From Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music to Cid Inc's Replug Records and UK behemoth Anjunadeep, it's GMJ's storytelling style that continues to surprise and inspire even the genre's most discerning fans. Now following an EP for his newly formed ‘Meanwhile' imprint, GMJ debuts on Sound Avenue with a stunning rendition of ‘Embers'. With a perfect blend of creativity and emotion, the Aussie artist deconstructs the main elements into a gorgeous effervescent theme. Symphonic overlays and buzzing sonics marry perfectly with the euphoric motifs, while a robust foundation translate those impassioned qualities to the dance floor. An exceptional remix from GMJ, capping off a well rounded remix edition for Eric Lune's ‘Embers'.
