Normally united under their alias Airscape, Johan Gielen & Peetu S return to High Contrast Recordings under their own artist names and deliver with “Manawatu” an outstanding gem!
The build-up is pretty typical of an uptempo Trancer whilst having hints of the Golden ’98-’03 era courtesy of Gielen’s signature sounds. It’s when the breakdown hits that this track truly draws everyone’s attention. An incredible sad and melancholic arrangement will sweep the hair on your arms skyward, and your arms will most likely follow the same trajectory! Yes, “Manawatu” brings to mind a familiar era that feels at once close but is, in reality, a decade behind us: it has the same effervescent aura that modern Classics Walking The Edge and Healesville Sanctuary had as well.
