Premiere: Mia Mendi transforms Far Distance’s ‘Dangerous’ with a dramatic remix

Regulars on Perspectives Digital over the past 2 years, Far Distance have made sizable waves with their Melodic Techno and Progressive House focused sound. Returning to the label with a two-track EP, the Spanish duo now present their new productions titled ‘Dangerous’ and ‘Trance Mission’ including a dramatic remix by Mia Mendi.

A rising force in the underground dance scene, Far Distance have found themselves becoming in-demand producers with a slew of releases and Beatport Top 100 hits on the likes of Einmusika, Eleatics, and Dear Deer. Making their debut on Darin Epsilon’s imprint in April 2021, the boys are back with a third original EP.

‘Dangerous’ opens with a pounding beat and 16th note bass sequence that creates immediate dancefloor energy. Sizzling snare rolls and a sharp-edged synth motif soon enter the fray to powerful effect before a further metallic bassline adds a stuttered staccato feel in the second movement. A blissful breakdown of trance-infused arpeggio provides a filtered hands-in-the-air moment before a white-noise riser then drops back into the bassline-and-beat gravitas of earlier phrases.

Redolent of the sound palette of its partner track, the hypnotic bassline sequence and hefty kick of ‘Trance Mission’ lay the foundations for genre-defining melodies to then enter the fray with apposite sonic reference to the title. A static-infused breakdown with bass note and synthetic voice provide pause for breath before the track is propelled forward once more with driving synth passage, mesmerizing bass, and smooth chord progression.

Making their Perspectives Digital debut, the Mia Mendi remix of ‘Dangerous’ takes familiar melodic tropes and phrases and transforms them into a dramatic reworking. Adding a swathe of additional production material, courtesy of melodic phrasing, breathy vocal phrases, and percussive wood-block patterns, Far Distance’s original is taken in a powerful new direction that rises and falls with dancefloor know-how and impressive rhythmic poise.

Seasoned artists with a decade-long experience in the world of “avant-garde music”, Mia Mendi have evolved constantly through their distinctive and innovative sound. The UK-based duo has showcased almost a century of production credits on some of the industry’s most-esteemed imprints. Moreover, a number 1 hit followed via the first release on their Hydera imprint as ‘Cultum’ (written with Thomas Gandey) rose to the summit of the Beatport Melodic House & Techno charts. Stil Vor Talent, Watergate Records, and Parquet Recordings have all played host to their sound with 2022’s ‘Comfort In The Void’ on Renaissance Records cementing a growing reputation.

You can now listen to the full premiere of Mia Mendi’s remix exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
