Zircon - Across The Ocean

| Zircon - Across The Ocean |
Never, ever, ever let it be said
that my tastes aren't eclectic. My bottom line is that the music has to
instigate some kind of reaction in me and after that it's down to myriad tiny
details which are hard to explain but if that instant reaction is there then
we've got something to work with. Now, despite sounding like some evil chemical
company from an improbable 80s film starring Fred Savage as the world's only
hope, Zircon is actually the pseudonym of Baltimore based Andrew Aversa for he
is the man behind these delightful bleeps, whirs and beats. Imagine, if you
will, Daft Punk remixing pretty much any artist from the Anjuna Beats label but
with added challenge of making sure the listener knows that there is a very
definite 90s dance influence. Got it? Then you've basically just imagined
'Across The Ocean'. Well done you. It's a cracking little dance track with fun,
melodies and that all important arms in the air moment as well as some Robert
Myles piano and Daft Punk digital voices for good measure. The guy has produced
10 albums of this stuff since starting in 2004 apparently and if they are half
as good as this tune then you have to wonder why this guy isn't huge already.
My suggestion is change the name from Zircon to Aversa and either get a fancy
helmet or pretend to be French.
