Luke Santos & Arturo Hevia – Nymphlight Playground (Marcelo Vasami Remix) [Asymmetric Recordings]

Asymmetric Recordings returns this week with a brand new collaborative single from Luke Santos & Arturo Hevia. Always bringing the best talent to Asymmetric, label boss Lonya calls upon one of the underground’s finest in Marcelo Vasami to remix the track. The Argentinean veteran has a real knack for crafting deep, groovy productions that work amazingly well on the dance floor but also make for captivating home listening. His aptly coined ‘Flutes’ interpretation of ‘Nymphlight Playground’ is exactly that with vibrant percussive elements and a bouncy cadence that’s perfectly dialled for club play. The vocal elements play nicely in the storyboard, setting up an emotive middle section with spiralling motfis and clever edits. Likely one of Marcelo’s most heartfelt productions to date and with support already in from Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren you know it’s one not to miss.
