There is no denying the talent that is Armin van Buuren in the electronic scene. His latest album, Intense, dropped in May of this year with Dutch record label Armada Music. The album is one I have been listening to on repeat from the day it released to the public. It’s an electronic masterpiece interwoven with instrumental samples, dreamy vocals, and builds & drops that actually pay off. While this is not an album review, it is certainly an album we recommend listening to from start to finish if you find yourself with the time. The album is one that the listener can easily use as background music while working or foreground music while partying. Yes, it’s magical like that.
UK producer Kat Krazy got hold of track three on the Intense album, “Beautiful Life” featuring the gorgeous vocals of Cindy Alma, and added his own twist to it. The drops a bit different than the original track, Kat Krazy has morphed this into a transcending dance floor hit of his own. It’s unique sound speaks measures to Kat Krazy’s ability to take an already-stellar sound and turn it into something fresh. He’s taken the trancy drop that Armin Van Buuren is known for and made it a little filthier in feel. We’re happy to have the excuse to continue listening to this track in another form. Kat has been building his profile over the last 12 months with a string of huge remixes, and we’re exciting to see what he releases next. And be sure to keep an eye out for the full remix package of “Beautiful Life,” out September 20th.
