PAX – Cosmic Kiss (Gorgon City Remix) [Factory 93]

Gorgon City stirs up the fervent feelings from PAX’s latest single, “Cosmic Kiss,” on their slick house rework for Factory 93 Records. The celestial energy from the original still burns as bright as ever, however, the predecessor’s unforgiving thump is exchanged for an iridescent glow courtesy of Gorgon’s gracious groove. Orbiting around the poignant string motifs and woeful vocal work, a sleek and upbeat rhythm adds colorful contrast to anguished lyrics about a love that seemingly fell from the stars. Bold basslines are punctuated by perfectly executed percussive hits, warbling flourishes, and heavenly pads, all of which allows Gorgon City to expertly navigate through a constellation of sorrow, euphoria, and a contagious danceability that effectively wipes the slate clean.
