Classroom Brainwashing

Paul Oakenfold’s classic, ‘Southern Sun’ returns in the second installment of remixes, this time bringing you 4 awesome trance remixes from Fluoro favourites Thomas Datt and Angry Man, Orkidea and Paul Webster.

This monstrous remix package kicks off with Thomas Datt whose productions have been a staple of head honcho Oakenfold’s worldwide sets and radio shows. His uplifting touches with a subtle nod to Tiesto’s timeless remix are a must for any trance fan.

The hugely in demand Angry Man ups the pace and adds his trademark dirty, darkness into a massive acidic monster that has seen early support from the 140 orientated djs!

Any long running trance fan will know Orkidea, whose music has been gracing clubs for nearly 20 years. His Tribute Mix adds a strong, punchy, groove orientated version to the package. 

Last but not least is Paul Webster who harks back to his original tech orientated sound and gives up a deep, driving and moody feel that polishes off the collection perfectly.

A perfect compliment to the mixes from Moe Aly, Cold Blue and Paul Thomas earlier this year.

Southern Sun

Paul Oakenfold & Cassandra Fox
“Touch Me”

Continuing the run of single releases from Paul Oakenfold’s recent Trance Mission album, we present a cover of what is arguably the biggest electronic vocal record of all time “Touch Me”. Originally by Rui Da Silva & Cass Fox and released in the early 00s the new adaptation by Paul Oakenfold took things in a more chilled direction – but still featuring a completely fresh take of vocals from Cassandra Fox. 

“If ever there was a timeless vocal classic to cover it’s “Touch Me” by Rui Da Silva and Cassandra Fox. Originally released in 2001 this was a number 1 hit in numerous countries around the world including the UK top 40. I adore this record. The lyrics and vocals are so perfect that when it came to make the cover version I knew two things had to happen – firstly we had to try and get Cass to re-sing the vocals (part of the rules of making a cover means you can’t use any audio from the original composition – everything needs to be remade or replayed) and secondly I wanted this to be a really stripped back almost chill out track so that the vocals had loads of room to breathe and take center stage. I love how this turned out and I was so excited that Cass got really involved when she came in to re-sing her vocals. It’s a completely fresh, exciting and emotionally charged take on the original record and I love it. “

Perfecto Records are proud to present a package of fresh & exciting club and radio mixes.

Traversing styles from progressive house to trance this package contains something for everyone. From Paul Oakenfold’s big room house ‘Stateside’ mix to the deep house interpretation with Marcellus Wallace, from the uber cool Mike Koglin take or the party vibe Joyriders mix. From the tougher Perfecto Club mix to the all out trance fest from Thomas Datt – this first package covers all bases. 

Watch this space for the release of the official “Touch Me” video. Coming soon.

Paul Oakenfold & Cassandra Fox - Touch Me (Thomas Datt Mix)

Here's a disclaimer.

This rework is based on a remix that was never released. It was my favorite back then, and still to this day. I decided to make my own version of that remix, as close as I could possibly get... for my own satisfaction.

I did not do this for some DJ, for a label, or for YOU. I did this for ME because I wanted to, simple as that. So for those haters out there, which I'm sure there's always one around... in the end I don't care what you think bro, because it wasn't for you.

For the rest of you guys, I hope you enjoy it :)

United States Of Trance - Datt Mix

Taken from Chronicles 123. I suppose I should mention this is not an official remix. 

I'm a big fan of the band, and when the new album came out I instantly fell in love with it. Afterglow was the only stripped down track, which was perfect for me to try and make a remix with. Not the easiest of course, as there were no parts to work with, but I think I got it pretty good. Maybe someday I'll have the parts????

Here's a little preview of my remix of Thomas Datt - Prana Flow.  Release date April 11th on Jordan Suckley's Damaged Records!  Thanks for listening!  :)

Thomas Datt - Prana Flow (Magnus Remix) - Preview

After two decades at the forefront of the dance music scene, Nick Bracegirdle AKA Chicane is preparing to release a long awaited retrospective, ‘Twenty’, set to drop on his own label Modena Records on July 29th.

CD One epitomises Nick’s passion and commitment to new music and dance talent. Crammed with remixes from some of the rising stars on the scene, the disc shows an entirely new side to Chicane. UK iTunes’ ‘Best Electronic Artist Of The Year’, Grum brings an euphoric remix of ‘Offshore’ to the table, full to the brim with dancing synths and deep basslines of what he acknowledges as “a universally acknowledged Ibiza classic.” His deep contemporary take on the track is dripping with his desire “to keep the timeless feel of the original club version, while bringing it into 2016 for DJ sets.” Meanwhile, the Earmilk-approved Thomas Datt offers up his own shimmering remix, the exhilarating crescendo of the track mixes the best of 90s trance with a 21st century minimalist twist. He explains that whilst creating his shimmering remix his “main focus was to get that classic Chicane pad just right to give it a whole new life; a more engulfing, epic feeling. Then came the guitar and piano…Once [he] got in Datt flow state, it more or less wrote itself.” 

Twenty - CD1

Offshore (Thomas Datt)

Here's the extended version of my remix.

I put a lot of love into this remix, as well as the video. Still Alive is one of those songs that has stuck with me for many years now. I love the original Mirror's Edge, as well as Catalyst. I love both soundtracks, created by Solar Fields. I hope you enjoy what I have created! Much love to you all.

Still Alive (Thomas Datt Remix)

In loving memory of Benjamin Curtis and his amazing music. RIP 







School Of Seven Bells - Reappear (Thomas Datt Remix)

Heard this track for the first time in the movie 500 Days Of Summer. It was a great movie with a great soundtrack, and this song stood out the most to me. 

Unhappy with the current batch of remixes that don't do the original any justice, I decided to do one myself. 

I am finally giving the track out, feel free to get it here http://www.thomasdatt.com/sweetdatt/

The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition (Thomas Datt Remix)

This lovely track has been an ID for a few weeks, until now.

I told you guys that I would give this out a few months after the new year hit. This has served me very well over the last year, but I no longer want to be selfish. Enjoy!

Monster Tunes enlists the production talents of Irishman Gary Maguire and Polish born American Thomas Datt to remix a complete classic from the Monster vault in time for the 'Summer'! 

Kuffdam & Plant's epic trancer 'Summer Dream' was originally released in 2005 to a rapturous reception including BBC Radio 1 airings by both Judge Jules ("Tried & Tested" tune of The Week) and Pete Tong ("House Rules" tune of the week) it also featured on Paul Van Dyk's 'Politics Of Dancing 2' compilation amongst others, and now we've brought it back with the help of two modern day trance heroes!
 
After hearing Gary Maguire's belting remix of the Perfecto classic 'Bullet In The Gun' we instantly knew we had to let him loose on this one. Opting for the more tradional trance formulae, Gary firmly places his own mark on the track with a snarling, psy-esque choppy bassline rhythm, tech trance stabs and an almighty euphoric build up!

Reinforcement comes from one of the most consistent remixers in the game, Thomas Datt delivers the energy for his remix with a driving percussion / bassline combo and rawkus acid stabs, which fire at full force after the breakdown!
