For this week of Turntable Tuesday I bring you one of my favorite Tech House tracks that is one of the most beautiful electronic music compositions I have ever heard, Callisto (Joris Voorn Remix.) The uplifting synth has so much feeling and emotion that it reminds the listener how much of the human element can still be captured within electronic music. The composition makes you feel as though every element within the track is so organic that it is not just a sterile loop, but each beat and accent is subtly changing as though performed live. Each layer adds more texture and movement as though it was originally written out on staff paper. The "Synthapella" (the synth with no beat) was later released and still charted as a top ten song because it is just so moving. Of course the song begins with a very simple two minutes of just beat, like most house tracks, this is part of the arrangement that gives the DJ time to properly blend two tracks into one. So for our purposes you may want to start the song at two minutes to skip the intro.
