- What is it about remixing tracks? Apart from the remixers remixing fee (usually a small amount in some cases), most of the credit goes to the original artist. Some remixes even sound better than the original version. Red Buddha's Recovery is a track I personally haven't had the pleasure of hearing yet after hearing this release it would be interesting to check out what the original has to offer.
Side A. Pako & Frederik remix
On a more progressive house tip, this remix has a nice build up of elements, adding in bass, synth stabs washes and swirls to good effect. The bass drum has a sharp kick (a very stabby sound of bass drum) to it and gets a little bouncy with the addition of a nice bass line. Even though I'm not much of a progressive fan, it is still an enjoyable mix. Definitely one to play on a big system and when the DJ is building up to a climax.
Side AA. Sub'Erb n Kaos Drum'n'Breaks mix
The information sheet says that these 2 producers are drum'n'bass producers and now they're trying their hand at producing breakbeats. Nothing really new about the situation, however it leads to some interesting releases being put out (e.g. DJ Zinc's Bingo label, Aquasky vs. Masterblaster and others). This one has a nice top end breakbeat sound utilising snares and hi-hat a bit more prominently - like a D&B track being slowed down - and also has a very low sounding, almost monotonal, bassline. The name of the remix suits it perfectly.
This is not a bad remix release, however it would be interesting to hear the original, yet this release offers something for people who follow either religion of dance music, be it 4/4, breaks or drum'n'bass (in a way).
