Ad Brown’s Motion: A Russian Dancefloor Beast from 2011 That Still Kicks Ass
Alright, let’s get real for a sec. If you’re into beats that slap harder than your ex on a bad day, Ad Brown’s Motion is the kinda album you wanna crank up when you need to feel alive. Released in 2011 under Silk Royal Records, this sucker dives headfirst into Progressive House and Tech House vibes, with just enough grit to keep things raw but polished enough to make your speakers cry.
First off, let’s talk about the titular track “Motion (Original Mix).” It’s not just some lazy loop slapped together; nah, it’s got layers. The bassline hits like a freight train at 3 AM, while those synth stabs cut through like knives. There’s something hypnotic about how the groove builds—slowly dragging you deeper until you forget where you are. You know those nights when you’re lost in the music, sweat dripping down your face, and everything just clicks? Yeah, that’s this track right here. It’s simple yet razor-sharp, like a well-thrown punch.
Now, if we’re talking remixes, Audien’s “Unconscious” version of “Motion” deserves its own damn shrine. This guy took Ad Brown’s blueprint and turned it into an emotional rollercoaster. The intro feels like sunrise after a long night out—it’s soft, almost dreamy—but then BAM! The drop hits, and suddenly you’re back in the club, fists pumping, heart racing. What makes this remix stick? It’s unapologetically euphoric without being cheesy. Audien knew exactly how to twist the original into something fresh yet familiar. It’s one of those tracks that stays stuck in your head for days, whether you like it or not.
KhoMha’s remix is solid too, don’t get me wrong. But honestly, it plays second fiddle compared to Audien’s masterpiece. Still, KhoMha brings that techier edge, perfect for peak-hour madness. Think less emotion, more aggression—like a kick to the gut, but in a good way.
Here’s the thing about Motion: it’s not trying to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it grabs the wheel, floors it, and sends you careening down a neon-lit highway straight into chaos. And honestly? That’s what makes it so damn addictive. In a world full of overproduced EDM bangers, this album strips things back to their core—a relentless beat, a killer groove, and zero apologies.
So yeah, Ad Brown might’ve been flying under the radar back in 2011, hailing from Russia no less, but Motion proves he wasn’t messing around. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best tunes come from unexpected places.
And hey, fun fact: listening to this album feels kinda like finding an old mixtape in your car years later. You pop it in, hit play, and realize… damn, they really don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Except now, instead of a mixtape, it’s Spotify playlists—but hey, who cares as long as the vibe’s still there?
