Der Mystik's Top 20: Aeriah with Nick Horn & Shadowfall ft Di - And So It Goes (Robert Vadney's Twilight Remix)

09) Aeriah with Nick Horn & Shadowfall ft Di - And So It Goes (Robert Vadney's Twilight Remix)


Quite a mouthful this title is, isn't?. Aeriah (aka Di), known for her works showcased mostly on her own label (Elliptical/Andromeda) and her collaboration with Blufeld, and Istar Project, not to mention her weekly radio show with Shadowfall ,"Cosmic Eclipse" a live 50% Talk/50% Music program which broadcasts at Odu.fm. She teams up with Nick Horn, and all together come up with "And So It Goes", a not a very remarkable piece of music in my opinion, but it does its little justice.


Remixed by several artists but only one managed to get it right, and that's no one else than Robert Vadney (Perfecto Records). "The Rebel in Darkness", "King of Gothic Trance", "The Greek Crow" and many other nicknames that describe his style and personality have risen over the years, invented but his loyal fans. In this remix he goes "Progressive-Meets-Industrial-Meets-Electro", a blend of musical styles, rhythms and melodies like no other.


I've managed to steal some of his time during this Christmas Season, to make him a few questions regarding this remix and other subjects. Check it Out!

DM: What was the element of the idea about this track that motivated you to do this remix?


RV: I'm surprised that you chose this remix or even found it for that matter, as it is completely underground and was never promoted. I would've expected you to ask about my "Fallen Angel's Symphony", as it's been heavily discussed lately, having been remixed by Paul Oakenfold and myself and now marketed by Armada Records. Regarding "And So It Goes", I was asked to remix it as a favor. To be honest, it's not a remix exactly, I merely placed the acappella sent to me on an instrumental that I had wrote, as I did not find any elements of the original to my liking.






DM: You've come long ways since the last interview at 'Honorable Mentions", establishing yourself as a "Regular" of Perfecto Records. You were once known as the "King of Gothic Trance", is it safe to say that you still are, or is Trance now , not the only music genre that defines your sound?


RV: To be honest, I never belonged to any categorization nor could I be labeled something specific, as I always did what I feel and want, regardless of the Pop scene or public demand, I remain the artist I was, I will continue to do so and be true to my fans and everyone who demands quality music rather than repetitive and meaningless trash. I was labeled "King of Gothic Trance" not only due to my appearance, but mostly due to my music being melancholic and dark/creepy. My music never could be categorized into something specific (i.e. common Trance) - I use whatever elements I choose, because I base my music on ultimate feelings/stimulations rather than commonly following trends in the hope of becoming popular and rich. It's best to split me into these three categories:

1) Club music

2) Alternative Rock (for my Alt.Rock project)

3) Classical/Film Scoring

DM: How did you take the join of Perfecto Records with Armada back when it was the "trending topic" amont EDM fans, and how do you feel now?

RV: Hah, this is funny. People panicked over nothing, really.

Perfecto Records merely signed a deal with Armada Music to do the distribution - the marketing, if you will.

So relax, people - Perfecto is still Perfecto - at least, I am.

P.S. Sorry if to some people I seem full of myself or big-headed, to be honest, I'm not - just overly touchy and honest and fed-up with crap.

You should meet me, I'm probably one of the most fun people you've met, lol.

End of Interview!

Don't worry Mr. Vadney! We all know that even the Dark Prince has his heart!. If you want to hear this rich remix you can preview and buy it here. Thanks for reading!
