Alright, let’s dive into Orkidea’s Metaverse Remix EP 02. Released way back in 2008 under the UK-based label AVA Recordings, this little gem is a must-listen for anyone who digs Electronic music, especially Trance and Progressive Trance. It’s not gonna change your life or anything, but it’s one of those albums that sticks with you for all the right reasons.
First up, “God’s Garden (Original Mix).” Man, this track hits different. It’s got this lush, dreamy vibe that just kinda washes over you. The build-ups are smooth as butter, and when the beat finally drops, it’s like… wow, okay, I’m sold. You can tell Orkidea put some serious thought into layering the synths here—it feels like floating through clouds, but with enough energy to keep you moving. Every time I hear it, I’m reminded why I fell in love with Trance in the first place. No joke, this one still slaps after all these years.
Then there’s “Metaverse (Jody Wisternoff Remix).” Okay, so Jody really brought his A-game on this remix. It’s darker and more brooding than the original, which makes it stand out on the EP. The bassline has this hypnotic groove that pulls you in, and the breakdowns? Chef’s kiss. They’re dramatic without being over-the-top, you know what I mean? It’s one of those tracks where you lose yourself for a minute, and before you realize it, you’ve listened to it three times in a row. Classic sign of a banger.
Honestly, what gets me about this EP is how timeless it feels. Sure, it came out in 2008, but it doesn’t sound dated at all. Maybe that’s the magic of Progressive Trance—it ages like fine wine. And speaking of aging, isn’t it wild how we’re living in an actual metaverse now, kinda sorta? Like, who knew a remix EP from 2008 would kinda predict the future? Weird flex, but cool.
Anyway, if you’re into Trance or just want something chill yet powerful to vibe to, give Metaverse Remix EP 02 a spin. It might not blow your mind, but it’ll definitely make your day better. And hey, who doesn’t need that?
