Andy van Kayne returns to Pulsar Recordings, bringing with him a slow and progressive tune that is sure to uplift the listeners. 'Open Gates' is characterized by a slow-moving synth that rises out of the initial silence, accompanied by beautiful female vocals, and a calm, twinkling melody. Bart Panco's remix is a more energetic version, starting with the traditional rolling bass and pumping kicks, before the synth rushes in and leads to a fast melody that is nevertheless equally as serene as the one in the original mix. The breakdown in this tune is led by a heavy piano melody and female vocals (stripped out of the dub mix) that move towards a sudden drop, where the initial, calm melody continues to ring.
