Lars Bartkuhn
See The Light
Lars Bartkuhn returns to Rush Hour with See The Light, as deep and complex as we have come to expect but as always his everpresent hunt for new inspiration and unique approaches is clearly evident across all 3 mixes of this beautifully deep yet pulsating track!
Originally written as a final foray into house music for the legendary Needs cofounder, this production aimed to push boundaries within the world of electronic dance music, integrate fresh new elements, bring new compositional perspectives to the listener and to create overall rewarding experiences.
It’s a deeply personal track, best summarised by the incredible piano solo in the Full Experience Mix. In Lars’ own words, I am ten million light years away from being a good pianist, but for some reason I NEED to play those kind of things…even if they are raw, primitive and incomplete and lack parameters like elegance, fluidity and wisdom I need to express myself in that very moment in this exact way. It’s these unrestrained moments of brilliance that create rich palettes of sound with deep textures, organic rhythms and joyful melodies that keep your ear constantly engaged.
The Full Experience Mix is a near13 minute trip through lush vocals, complex percussion, deep chords and raw piano solos that guides the listener through the changing motions of See The Light. Backed by two dub mixes, Inner Experience hones in on the keys and synths truly elevating those striking notes. Opening with atmospheric percussion, the Dub Reprise settles into a chugging rhythm that brings the drums to the forefront.
