Let?s skip the fancy introduction paragraph and get right to the mixes, shall we?
Guido Osorio opens this maxi single up with a driving, slightly electro, tribal mix. While one of his signature basslines reminds us it?s from Guido, the rest of the mix sounds different than the usual Osorio production. I can?t quite put my finger on what?s different but it?s a good mix all in all. The deep, rumbling bass paired with a fuzzy synth on the loop really kick this one into overdrive; perfect for the peak hour dancefloors.
Jason Nevins provides not one, but two mixes. His Funkrock Remix is just that ? a funky, rock mix that jumps from a hot breakbeat to a pounding 4 on the floor house tune. It?s the kind of remix that could easily break into the mainstream. On the other hand, his Global Club Mix is a little more on the electronic tip yet retains the similar break/house vibe. While not too different, both mixes provide the listener with two separate but equally impressive grooves.
Peter Presta?s Apple Jaxx Mix and Johnny Budz Mix?s are good, but they?re nothing to write home about. Each retains that same rock style, but never really take off. The Apple Jaxx Mix being the better of the two, it catches your ear a bit quicker than Johnny Budz' laidback approach.
This import single lists tracks 10 & 11 as the Almighty Mix and Radio edit, yet there seems to be only 9 tracks in all- this must have been a typo on the label?s end. Other than that minor messup, this is one single with a great collection of remixes by some equally great producers.
