Sari Seramor and Markandeya – Gratitude (Dub remix)
Sari Seramor and Markandeya’s “Gratitude (Dub Remix)” is an interesting mix of dance, ambient, and dub music, “trapped” in a surreal, psychedelic atmosphere. A dramatic, almost mystical tone is created by the track’s opening soft synths, which trigger open space, soul searching, and altered states. As the slow-paced percussion slowly kicks in, it provides the song an ongoing beat and keeps it feeling light and free. The distorted auto-tuned vocals, which move through the mix like an instrument rather than dominating the spotlight, add to the ethereal environment. Their ethereal sound invites the listener into a state of mindfulness and offers a spiritual touch. The dub components are minimal nevertheless powerful; they create a changing soundscape through filters, echo tracks, and fade-in/fade-out dynamics. Here, the sound seems to be moving in and out of consciousness rather than keeping on a solid framework, creating the impression of space and rhythm. This tune is more focused on “being immersed” and atmosphere than on standard song structure. With the perfect mix of electronic soundscapes and organic cycles, “Gratitude (Dub Remix)” is perfect for late-night listening, mindful activity, or concentration.
