Melodize returns for its 18th release with the Opaque EP, a deeply emotive offering from label head Beartrax, featuring stunning remixes from Massimiliano Pagliara and Eliott Litrowski. Known for crafting immersive, melodic soundscapes, Beartrax delivers two original tracks that showcase his signature style, blending rich textures and melancholic undertones with a touch of classical influence.
The title track, Opaque, unfolds over seven minutes of rolling, atmospheric house. Its driving bassline and lush violin melodies evoke a sense of introspection, creating a meditative dancefloor experience. In contrast, Sanctity dives deeper, weaving hypnotic rhythms and layered pads that gradually envelop the listener in a warm, emotive embrace.
Massimiliano Pagliara takes on remix duties for Opaque, injecting a more club-focused energy with punchy low-end grooves and celestial synth lines that expand the track’s sonic depth. His version feels like a journey through the neon-lit corners of a late-night Berlin dancefloor, adding a fresh, dynamic layer to the EP.
Meanwhile, Eliott Litrowski transforms Sanctity into a brooding, new wave-inflected gem. His interpretation blends gritty electro beats with haunting, indie-tinged basslines, creating a trippy, head-spinning trip into the shadows. It’s a bold, risk-taking rework that showcases his fearless approach to production.
With Opaque EP, Beartrax and his collaborators prove that the Melodize sound continues to evolve, delivering nuanced, atmospheric dance music that speaks to the heart as much as the feet.
