Sound Design
The main thing that catches your ears is the balance. Kölsch skillfully leaves room for vocals, while backing them up with a powerful but unobtrusive sub. Drum sounds soft but confident, creating a dense groove. The bass line in the lower range is tightly melded with the kick, but it doesn’t drag attention.
One of the features of the remix is Kölsch’s signature synths. The melodic line is done in his recognizable style: simple, but with a slight vintage feel, as if from an analog synthesizer. A lead shimmers smoothly, creating a hypnotic effect. The arpeggio rises and falls, as if playing with the listener’s perception.
Summary
Kölsch’s remix of Hollow is a competent reworking that keeps the spirit of the original, but makes it deeper and more meditative. It is suitable both for lyrical end of a set and for background listening in a home environment. However, the remix doesn’t offer anything radically new. It’s more of an elaborate but safe track.
