Week 29 : OceanLab featuring Justine Suissa - Clear Blue Water (Ferry Corsten Remix)
One of the most well known vocal trance acts from the past few years is ‘OceanLab’. The three producers who are behind this project are Jonathan ‘Jono’ Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamäki. This UK based producers trio is also known for other electronic dance music projects such as ‘Above & Beyond’, ‘Dirt Devils’, ‘Tranquility Base’ and ‘Free State’ to name a few. Besides those projects Jono, Tony and Paavo did remixes for several artists such as Madonna, Dido, Britney Spear,s Delerium, Perpetuous Dreamer, Motorcycle and lots of others. Furthermore they are DJ-ing as well and last but not least they have their own recordcompany, which is called ‘Anjunabeats’.
The first track that was released under the ‘OceanLab’ alias was the song ‘Clear Blue Water’. The vocals in this track are performed by Justine Suissa. Justine is a famous vocalist from the UK. In the year 1999 she already worked together with producer Nick Bracegirdle for his ‘Chicane’ project. The vocals on the ‘Chicane’ track ‘Autumn Tactics’ (which is taken from the ‘Behind The Sun’ album) were also done by Justine. In 2001 Jono, Tony and Paavo asked her if she wanted to be the vocalist of their new project ‘OceanLab’. ‘Clear Blue Water’ was the first track that was released by them.
There are several remixes done of the track. The German duo ‘Hennes & Cold’ did 2 remixes of ‘Clear Blue Water’ and Jono, Tony and Paavo did a remix under their ‘Above & Beyond’ alias as well. Some Dutch people were also asked to remix the track: Geert Huinink did a remix, Robert Verkerk and DJ Astrid did a remix under their ‘Walter Solo’ alias. And Ferry Corsten also delivered a nice trance remix of the track.
