I found this song either on MTV Dance or the Virgin Media on demand dance playlist a week or two ago. I knew it was worthy as a post on the website as soon as I heard it.
The re-launch of the Signum duo has brought nothing but good. A revival of the legendary producer-duo Pascal Minnaard and Ron Hagen, the guys behind ‘What You Got 4 Me’, ‘Push Through’ and the latter ‘Distant Signature’, was more than welcome to their loyal group of fans.
This time, it’s the summer’s hot sun that have inspired them. Sunny guitar and a deep and relaxing progressive sound set forth a true holiday spirit, found in ‘Riddles In The Sand’. It’s the soundtrack to anyone’s Balearic dream: catchy, groovy and luminous. The track, which the Signum guys release under their Ron Hagen & Pascal M alias, already gave prominence to Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance 2009 album.
The Omnia remix of ‘Riddles In The Sand’ is a completely different approach to its guitar-melody. Less trancy, but loaded with a top notch proghouse sound that won’t slip by unnoticed. The Ukrainian producer did a splendid job in giving the track a richer sound, and giving it a dramatic touch. Atmospheric all the way!
