Released on February 22, 2019, via Magik Muzik, JES – “Imagination (Will Atkinson Remix)” revisits one of the singer’s earlier vocal recordings through a powerful Uplifting Trance arrangement. Scottish producer Will Atkinson combines the emotional character of JES’s performance with driving basslines, layered melodies and a progressively intensifying build. The remix connects the song’s late-2000s solo-release history with the more energetic main-floor Trance sound of 2019.
Letting JES’s “Imagination” run away with him, over nine minutes Will’s rework takes it to any number of new dimensions. Tapping into its emotional core from the outset, his production makes a lightning quick connection with her song. Rolling JES’s opening refrains over crisp breaks and then capitalising with 4/4 beats, he brings in a beast of a b-line and an irresistible riptide of surging sub-riffs. Will then deftly clicks it over into a thumping progressive tract, allowing – through pathos-soaked pads, synths and endless FX detail, that emotion to swell. Finally – right when you think it’s topped out and hasn’t anymore road to run, he stunningly upscales again. With a break picked out by authentic guitars strains and heart-seeking chime, Will finally eclipses all with the kind of mainline uplift your night simply won’t recover from.
Will Atkinson shifts “Imagination” toward a faster, more energetic Uplifting Trance sound while preserving JES’s distinctive vocals. Compared with the earlier solo versions, the remix places greater emphasis on driving percussion, rolling low-end movement and a prolonged melodic build. Its breakdown allows the vocal emotion to take centre stage before the arrangement expands into a more forceful, peak-time climax.
