Redshape and I have been exchanging our music ever since he dropped by Berne for a spontaneous visit a few years ago. This guy is behind one of the best live acts on the circuit, one of the few that actually deserve the term "live." He has a signature sound you never fail to detect. On this amazing remix for Martyn, it's there again, this darkly foreboding feel which is so typical for most of his dance floor-orientated tracks. The track is built around a duo of churning Detroitish chordlines and it has that breakdown with an organ fiesta: You can almost sense a hands-in-the-air moment there. Future rave music.

Anthony Shakir is an artist who's been on my list ever since I discovered this gem. Even today, "Breathe Deeper" sounds incredibly modern. It's a really spacey affair with its billowing groove, hypnotic strings and synth arpeggios. Perhaps you remember the glorious days of the X-Mix series? This was one of the highlights on Mr. C's contribution. I have started playing it again lately, and to my surprise, it's gotten very enthusiastic reactions from the crowd.

I'm a big fan of Mr. Kosi's work, I admire his touch, this very personal, often freaky feel that make his productions stand out from the masses while still working on the floor. So, any news of an upcoming Koze release makes my blood run faster. Even greater was my anticipation when I heard that Circus Company was set to release "Mrs. Bojangles." Was I disappointed? Of course not! I had all but forgotten about cowbells since Kerri Chandler "Bar-a-Thym," and here they make a striking re-appearance. Hearing that breakdown for the first time was just awesome. Such a great mood shifter, it's the perfect track toward the end of my sets.

The original of this track by Rah Band was apparently a hit when it came out in the early '80s. I discovered it through this excellent remix by Atjazz. It's all about these swinging chords: deep but at the same time very driving. And they have these very unique and catchy female vocals from the original, which may be the reason this is another track which attracts the trainspotters. It's one of those tracks that keeps turning in your head after a long night in the club, and you catch yourself whistling the theme over and over. The perfect closing track to send people out in the morning with a good feeling.

Andreas told me about his version of "Rose Rouge" when we were having dinner in Gothenburg this summer. He played it later at the studio and I was totally blown away. It kicks off with the drum loop and vocal sample of the original, much in the vein of the Rhadoo version. Don't let that scare you off, though. Because after three minutes comes this incredibly euphoric piano riff which Andreas played and recorded on a real piano. The track spans over 12 minutes and never loses its touch for a single second. There's so much action and even though the track is at the relatively slow BPM rate of the original, it seems extremely fast-paced.
