Christopher Manik returns to Audio Logic with his first LP titled Astoria & The Skeleton Key. Christopher’s recent productions have been big as of late getting support all around the globe. Having produced remixes and originals for Autist, Definitive, Harthouse, Morrison, Nightshade and Audio Logic all within the last year, Christopher’s career is accelerating forward quickly.
The first single from the LP, 2 Pianos is a massive tune. Christopher leads in with crunchy percussion and filtering in the piano melody. Manik sequences a driving rhythm with the piano riffs and a wicked bass line that escalates the track. The track has an unforgettable hook and is a proper dance floor bomb to be used at peak hours of the night.
Audio Logic Recordings is excited to welcome Blake Jarrell to the roster. Blake’s interpretation of 2 Pianos is downright wicked. He starts with a melodic intro building tension and teasing us with bits of the lead sound from the original then gets down to business with a tough low-end bass line. He drives it home alternating between the two leads and building up to another break hitting listeners with the massive piano melody that will drive the floors frantic. The Original Mix and Blake Jarrell Remix together make for one of the best packages Audio Logic Recordings has put together to date. Look for 2 Pianos in the play lists of heavy hitting DJs across the globe.
DJ Comments & Support:
Andy Moor - Blake Jarrell remix is wicked 8/10
Ben Brown - Full support on both. The piano riff/bass line combo works well and it has gone off every time I’ve played it. Blake’s remix is also superb as it gives the track a bit more of a thematic feel keeping the vibe of the original intact. 9/10
