The intoxicating house and techno music in the new Canadian movie Ecstasy, featuring Twilight vamp Charlie Bewley and 90210's Zinser, is as addictive as the story's mysterious party drug.
Beatmode serves up the movie soundtrack's first single, Back To Life. Featuring the haunting and emotive vocals of the films lead supporting actress Elisa King, this is an ethereal anthem destined for many Miami and Ibiza opening parties.
Backed by some top-notch remixes, the release offers something for everyone from the chilled to the frenzied, it provides an intoxicating listen.
Ste Haley's mix kicks in with melodic piano riffs mixed with Show Me Love-esque synths, as King's detached, spacial vocals exude a sense of longing and desperation that is bound to strike a chord with even the most casual of clubbers.
By contrast Benjamin Leung, Def Audio & Sam Fitch's mix forgoes the traditional house-style piano, opting instead for a bold, jangly guitar riff, before giving way to a kick-ass beat as chopped vocals filter in and out. The track ebbs and flows in all the right places delivering a certified euphoric anthem
Elsewhere, Zigmund Slezak's minimal, industrial arrangement allows an almost dry vocal to drive the disparate, buzzing bassline. Slezak's take is chilled, end-of-night fare awash with vocal glitches.
Kyfu's remix is ushered in by white noise and led by square synths, as the beat pops aggressively contrasting with the sweet dreamy vocals. As with Slezak's mix, clever vocal chops and cuts add interest for the listener, before the uplifting piano kicks in creating a state of euphoric wonder.
Nick Hussey's mix infuses a heavy, tribal, militant beat that gives way to uplifting piano riffs, as the track whirls and buzzes to life. This peaktime mix is custom made for the club delivering plenty of 'hands in the air' moments.
Matt Smallwood's mix is a bass-heavy Chicane-ish style tune. A slick serving of prog is the order of the day with the vocals sat further back in the mix allowing the tune to breathe. Smallwood adopts a less-is-more mantra when it comes to utilising the vocals to deliver maximum impact.
The original mix offers a deep throbbing bass, which filters out allowing the vocal to shine before slamming back in hard with a relentless beat.
A sure-fire hit this release is a mesmerising listen that is majestic, sensual, emotive and addictive.
