BALTIC BOOGIE pt.1 (Ché Wilson b2b Josh Ray @ The Baltic Social 28/09/18)


DJ Die - Music is one of my favourite tracks ever and the remix is top class!”
DJ Hype - I love the way this remix has not  lost the flavour of the original classic 
LTJ Bukem - Subtle and smooth rework, love how Technicolour introduces the original Music bells, fading them up in the mix, makes you almost not realize what your actually listening to, love it!
Bryan G - When I first heard this track it felt like a spiritual journey into music. This remix leaves me feeling exactly the same. Mad props to Technicolour, they rolled out one of the biggest classics in drum & bass.
Jack Frost - Music rework is like a brand new record but with that same class and instant appeal as the original recording .. Great record
Lenzman - My first piece of Drum & Bass vinyl was "Music" and I have to say that the Technicolour rework is stunning. A great re-imagining of the original.
EZ Rollers - When remixing a classic such as Music it is easy to get it wrong and difficult to get it right. Well, Mr Technicolour you got it so right! 10/10
Technicolour - 	'Music' is one of THE cornerstones of jungle to me, one of a handful of tracks that really laid a foundation for everything that has come to pass since. So I hope my deep reverence for the original comes through in the remix. 
Furney - Nice little re-hash of Bukems classic, the new elements swirl it up nicely and the rolling break rattles in your face faster than an Olympic gold medallist. The unforgettable bass hook, faithfully reproduced, make this a chin stoker and a leg shaker.  Don't miss this one.
Blu Mar Ten - True to the craft.
Jay Rome - Really love this remix by Technicolour....he still kept the great dreamy vibe of the original and made a solid update of it....Technicolour never does wrong.
Command Strange - It's really great remix, now this legendary track sounds fresh to the old spirit! BIG!
Malaky - Amazing rework of one of my all time favourites.Still got the vibes of the original but with a modern twist.Not an easy task to remix such a classic track,but Technicolour's got it spot on.Can't wait for this one!!!!!
