''Beacon of Hope is a single by the Rabbit Records founder, 
Blanka Barbara.

Here's what the producer herself tells us about the track: The 
emotional content of the harmony was inspired by the sculpture 
of the same name, standing in Belfast. When I first saw her I 
was mesmerised the globe at her feet hinted this incredible 
universal philosophy of peace, harmony, unity and thanksgiving, 
and has markings on its surface of the cities where the people 
of Belfast migrated to Such a powerful, meaningful, yet fragile 
figure

Noted for her keen dancefloor vision, Blanka Barbara crafts one 
of her most memorable productions to date. Deep and powerful, 
melancholic and touching, its warm foundation is full of contour 
and character, while sweeping pads and pulsating rhythms build 
painful tension as the narrative takes shape. Neatly conjured 
percussion comes in waves, expertly layered chords and colourful 
bells lead the momentum towards the breaking point. The 
exquisitely layered harmonic tension reaches a triumphant apex 
immediately following the break, summoning the ultimate 
cathartic cry for groove for a heads-down finale.

Providing excellent and very different interpretations of the 
original are 4 producers hailing from different parts of the 
world, working within different genres of electronic music, 
viewing the original from contrasting angles, united by this 
unique EP release.

Connecting their minds to conjure a new joined version are 
Marcelo Ignacio and Max Effe. The Russian producers focus on the 
positivity the message of the original sends to the world. A 
beautiful, deep yet light, melancholic yet carefree production 
is born. The main melody accompanied by intriguing swirling 
synths dominates the soundworld. Things get even more luminous 
in the wide atmosphere of the break, however, the beguiling 
groove does not leave us hanging for long.

The Indian progressive talent Haen creates an out-of-the-box 
rework, offering a completely nonpareil view. We find ourselves 
immediately catapulted into an otherworldly setting, where 
robotic drones and space synths alternate in a vast boundless 
sea to reach the celestial arpeggiator in the pause. Enchanting 
and mysterious across the main break, its flair for the dramatic 
grows, with the introduction of intriguing synths as the beats 
drop for a ravishing finale.

The final vision comes from the Hungarian mastermind, Retroid. 
With the producer's professional career spanning over two 
decades, Retroid chooses to stay true to the tone of the 
original. He goes deeper and more emotive across a magical 
seven-minute journey. Whimsical arpeggiators blanket a billowing 
groove as wispy effects and relentless breakbeat percussion add 
colour and drive. The final remix is a mystical journey 
surrounded by focused sounds to reach the main melody that, like 
a lantern in the dark, will guide us to a powerful emotional 
drop where it will be impossible not to dance.

'Beacon of Hope [Remixes]' is a gorgeous, hopeful and truly 
unique EP offering a varied view on the same subject - unity and 
peace.
