Top 100 Chart Placements
Updated 2 years ago
When Enlusion stumbled upon the original version of Daystar on Exotek's SoundCloud, he was immediately hooked by those moody, haunting melodies. There was something about the atmosphere that stuck with him, and he knew he had to get into the studio and build something of his own around it. He spent two months reworking the track, eventually landing on a 134 BPM deep progressive trance version that really breathes new life into the original ideas. This remix isn't just a simple edit; it brings a lot more grit and weight to the table. He leaned heavily into the atmospheric side of things, layering in sharp stabs and focusing on making the transitions between the melodic sections feel completely effortless. Now out on Forescape Digital, the final result is a record that feels both massive and incredibly polished. It captures that same spark that drew Kirill to the original while adding the kind of drive and presence that makes it stand out in a set. It is a special piece of music that manages to be both emotional and powerful at the same time.
Forescape Digital Trance (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)
Following the strong chart impact of the original, Exoteks Sanctuaryreturns in remix form, reimagined through two radically different yet equally compelling perspectives. This release celebrates contrast by presenting polar interpretations, each rooted deeply in the identity of the artist behind it. The first remix comes from Stu McNally (aka Insert Name), delivering the aptly titled Fluid Remix. Tailored for progressive house aficionados in the vein of Cid Inc and Hernan Cattaneo, this version is built on deep textures, smooth flow, and an exceptionally subtle melodic touch. With a clear nod to the classic Global Underground aesthetic, it carries the spirit of timeless, story-driven sets associated with John Digweed and Nick Warren, making it a refined and elegant reinterpretation. On the opposite end of the spectrum, The Digital Blonde delivers a driving and unapologetically powerful Trance remix. Packed with lush pads, soaring melodies, hypnotic arpeggios, and all the signature hallmarks that define Rickys sound, this version transforms Sanctuary into a full-scale, journey. Bold, emotional, and deeply immersive, it stands as a perfect counterbalance to Stus remix, completing a release that thrives on contrast while honoring the strength of the original.
