The Subdivision / 501 / HLZ - Open Your Eyes EP

Recording info

The SubDivision return home to Paradise Lost with the Open Your Eyes EP: epic
vibes, hypnotic bass work, and complex programming manifest themselves as what
might be considered their best work to date, and surely a production which defines
their unique style for building cinematic tracks of epic proportions. The structure is
trademark TSD: a beautifully drawn-out breakdown compliments the progressively
building tension, leading to a thunderous climax toward the end. This tune is more of
a journey than simply a DJ tool (although it's a treat to mix with), and DJs such as
Bunzer0, Djunya, 501 and Claw have used it to devastating effect in the mix.
For variations on the Open Your Eyes theme, Finnish mercenary 501 was brought in
and produces a devastating, sinister, half-stepping remix monster. This version
utterly destroys the dancefloor in usual 501 fashion, but adds a twist of darkness.
HLZ, whose work for Drum and Bass labels Chronic, Soul:R and Liquid V Recordings
has brought him much acclaim, was recruited to offer up his own unique take on
Dubstep for a second variation on the original. He uses signature bassline science
combined with smacking, dancefloor-friendly drums, then tosses in an epic
breakdown-buildup combination followed by a monumental drop that's sure to get the
dance jumping.
Variety truly is the spice of life, and Paradise Lost Recordings once again seeks to
bring that point home with the Open Your Eyes EP.
