@dinupancov: still the original rocks more!

Originally released as part of Munich Disco Tech vol. 11 back in May, prolific German house duo Lissat & Voltaxx's The Sunken Bells Of Ibiza simply couldn't be held down. It's proved to be such an in-demand track this summer that it's now being given its own full release with an excellent set of remixes to breathe new life into it. If you don't know the original, you can take a guess at what the crux of the musical matter is. A typically pumping big room groove from the duo gallops away manically with a hefty dose of swing and mischief in the mix, and those eponymous, spooky bell sounds chime in via a spacious, eerie breakdown to intense effect. It's not a track to be used lightly; it's made for big rooms, peak times and packed dancefloors. Carl Cox's right-hand-man Jon Rundell comes fresh from a Beatport number one with his slick, undulating techno rework that really lets those bells breathe. All it takes is a breakdown of epic proportions to propel his remix into the upper echelons of techy prowess, giving a stark contrast to his mechanical groovings. Joe Maker strips the groove down to minute particles and stirs it all round into a bouncing, succinct, swirling beast of a rhythm, laden with space, texture and depth. It's the sort of thing you could expect to hear mid-Luciano set, with deft bongos pattering their away across the stereo field and deep sub bass caressing your ribs. Philip Bader seems intent on twisting the track into tripped out techno territory, and does so in fine, murky, disorientating style. One for the weirder floors, the earlier hours, and the more warped crowds.
