Alexey Sonar

Silk's latest release is by the exceedingly talented Russian artist Sergey Tkachev, whose standout tracks on Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep (such as "Alien & Butterfly") have led to a quick ascent in the international progressive scene. His offering here, the ebullient "Mi Ta," was initially previewed on the Silk Royal Showcase 02 compilation and now features two brand new remixes by Alexey Sonar and axisOne. Tkachev's Original Mix is a jubliant, peak-hour progressive house track, with an 80's influenced rhythm section and lead synth. More specifically, the track begins with just a basic kick-snare-hat pattern — straight from an 80's American disco — and the funky lead synth chord progression. The lead develops into a new, highly dynamic melody, and this main theme continues throughout the tune, as various layers are added. In the main break, the lead riff is solo'ed as the beats drop out, and strings enhance the euphoria of the soundscape.Alexey Sonar, a widely popular Russian DJ and producer (who also just star
