    Joker Jam - Innocence (Original/Planisphere and Paul van Dyk Remixes) (2001)

    One of my all time favs, love all 3. Particularly like the opening synth of the Planisphere mix. I wish Laurent would bring the Planisphere vibes back.

    S.H.O.K.K. - Folie Á Deux (Wavetraxx & Nick The Kid Remix) [HTE Recordings]

    Yeah man I wouldn't have gone near it, as I 100% know I could not improve the original. I've turned down every remix of a classic I've been asked to do on this basis, except one - and in that case I worked closely with the original producers. I doubt I'll like the Lab4 et al remix. I used to...

    S.H.O.K.K. - Folie Á Deux (Wavetraxx & Nick The Kid Remix) [HTE Recordings]

    With these things I ask would I play this remix over the original??? No, adds nothing new that’s exciting and my gosh it’s slow. It is mostly respectful though as you pointed out, the EDM snares can fuck off though. Didn’t like the additions to the lead riff, felt forced and overdone. I’m gonna...

    Anyone using hardware sequencers?

    I’ve been looking into these (non modular). I need something with a grid style pattern sequencer which can control ideally 6-8 midi tracks/channels. A couple of sync outs would be cool too but not essential. Problem is, all the ones I’ve found that do this have built in samplers, synths etc -...

    Airwave - I’m Not Rank 1 [Airwave Music]

    Me too!! I like this track, simple but nicely executed synth riff, and I grew up in the 80's so anything vaguely with that sound creates a rumble in the pants department

    Three Drives - Greece 2000 - Allan Morrow Remix

    Nicely done, I wish the lead had a bit more guts and a little less delay though. Nothing will ever beat the Man With No Name remix for me.

    BTW no progress on this : ( Rich is remixing a collab by me and Deepcry now so when he sends me that I’ll ask about this one, maybe direct him to this thread too.

    Narel - ID [Pure Trance?]

    Tend to agree, plus I don’t want anything of mine to be even vaguely associated with EDM, even if mostly just a label name. @Electronlyman FSOE/FSOE Fables turned it down saying ‘the lead isn’t strong enough’. Which I took as ‘the lead isn’t a massive supersaw’. I took a punt on them having...

    When Rich turned it down he suggested Activa (Rob) for Borderline, Rob turned it down because he didn’t like the lead riff. But, it has led to me working on something for Rob, as he spoke very highly of the production.

    Narel - ID [Pure Trance?]

    I’m really proud of this one, the lead in particular, weird and a bit divisive but definitely uplifting. The genesis of this is I deliberately set out to make a trance tune, but without supersaws. Rich (Solarstone) turned this demo down, so I’m hoping as he’s played it and asked for opinion he...
