Description
You want it pure, unmodified and exactly as the original artist intended it?! Well this time you'll need to look elsewhere! This September the good folk at Grotesque stand ready to toot the horn of all things 'remix' once again! With an airtight game plan, 'Grotesque Reworked & Remixed 2' serves you one mix of the best of the best from trance's freshly released & remixed crop, whilst the other cliff-dives into the archives to rework some of the genre's classier classics. Over 230 minutes, the release has a posse of on-point remixers to hand, with Alex M.O.R.P.H., Ferry Tayle, Jordan Suckley, Sneijder, Robert Nickson, Roger Shah just some of those flexing their remix-muscles. They've had a starry cast of legends to work on too, with productions from Tiesto & Armin, Aly & Fila, Ferry Corsten, Gabriel & Dresden, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Andy Moor and Lange among those coming under the remix laser. Having handled Volume 1's duties solo, Master of Grotesque ceremonies RAM shakes up the album system some. For its second outing he's drafted in head of Grotesque A&R Daniel Skyver to co-mix the edition. With RAM's focusing on the 'now' and Daniel on the 'then', between them they've delivered a mixcomp that's as big a salute to the time honoured trance remix as you'll hear this year! On his mix Daniel has dug deeper into the crates to focus on still remix-fresh trance heritage. A 'Cafe Del Mar'/'Greece 2000'/'1998'-rerun this is not! Over its opening half you'll hear reworks like Ruddaz's much-champed take on Coast 2 Coast's 'Home', Roger Shah's reimagining of 'Somewhere Inside' from Allure & Julie Thompson and Alex M.O.R.P.H. uptick of Kamaya Painters' 'Wasteland'. Further in Joy Kitikonti's 'Joyenergizer' gets a lightning bolt retouch from 2nd Phase, Armin & Tiesto Pres. Major League's 'Wonder?' dazzlingly comes to the remix attentions of that man Jordan Suckley and Indecent Noise overhauls DJ Wag's Overdose classic 'Man On The Moon'. Bringing his disc to an adrenaline-charged conclusion, Daniel lines up David Forbes'
