Today we have a fantastic remix from Cologne-based DJ duo, production outfit, and live act Hidden Empire. This morning Microtrauma released their latest EP on Einmusika’s sublabel Ein2 which features a remarkable contribution from Hidden Empire. Their remix of ‘Vona’, the new EP’s title track, is nothing short of a 7 minute adventure of melodic hypnosis. ‘Vona (Hidden Empire Remix)’ is a dark and moody techno track that features a throbbing bassline and tight percussion. The track’s highlight, however, is the stunning arpeggio piece during the breakdown. The synths build up to a subtle, understated beat drop that almost passes by unnoticed. But when that kick falls back in you can feel the power behind it. Very well done![soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/311858722" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]Hidden Empire is a German DJ duo, production outfit, and live act composed of Branko Novakovic and Niklas Schäfer.
