Alex Kunnari

» Lifter

Label: Songbird
Format: CD
Genre: Trance, Progressive Trance


Finland’s Alex Kunnari slams out a fresh piece of driving and uplifting trance with a hefty remix package from JS16, Paul Webster, Miika Kuisma and Joonas Hahmo.

Previously Alex has produced tunes under the name Modulation and his first tune in the UK cool cuts chart the tune peaked number and DJ magazine rated it as a 5/5 star tune and Muzik magazine gave 4/5 stars to it. After the first release Alex went on to remix for well-known artists.

Lifter has a really cool fresh trance sound and energy; an electro carved bass drives the main focus of the track with an uplifting synth line running through the track. A really gentle breakdown drops back into the hitting bass and makes the gentle soundscape of the breakdown then have a stronger impact. Very catchy and full of happy edged vibes.

Paul Webster who’s caught the masses attention with a remix of Warrior “If You Want Me” and a plethora of Original tracks that followed gives for me, the best trance remix, tough and tight driving drums sit with the synth and the lector bass but he’s padded out the sounds much more and built upon them and really made a tougher impression and slams the energy levels to the max and adds a proper dancey big room feeling.

JS16 provides a dirty, chunky and far more house styled mix in contrast to the other mixes. Sitting further into techy dance then just trance it has a really cool electro feeling to it and it chugs along and seems to have a more groove led element to it for the floor. Little changes here and there add for the variety and keeps the direction in tact. Utilizing the trancey elements still in the mix you have a far more unique sounding mix that could easily get cross plays and different times of the night.

Miika Kuisma changes the vibe of the original and gives a deep charged wobbling mix with a floaty progressive meets trance backing and uses cool pads to carry the track along. Joonas Hahmo finishes things off with a happy rendition and uses the originals best bits and builds a more chunky progressive trance version.
