The remix was much more banging. A couple of BPM faster and with much tuffer beats, this was aimed squarely at the dancefloor. I found a sample of some crazy voodoo type guy chanting some incomprehensible nonsense, so chopped it up and laid it over the beats – giving a slightly tribal and haunting quality to the intro. Then the big bassline comes in with the stab and sets up a nice rolling groove. A small section of my vocal from the original was used and filtered in from afar. Gradually coming into focus until the breakdown, where we get a little bit more of the vocal before we build up and drop back into the groove. A spacey, meandering keyboard solo on the Nord takes us along to the end of the track.

To go with the Vocal mix, i also made the Tuff 303 Dub. This one has absolutely no vocals in it and instead has a 303 part that I made using AudioRealism Bassline and chopped up and filtered to give it more feeling. I think that it works really well and keeps a nice acid vibe running through so you don’t miss the vocal at all.

These mixes were played out quite a bit by some credible DJs but we didn’t sell that
many records. However it was signed to two compilation albums:-
