Chris Johnson's Locomotion (LOST171) was originally released back in 2020, with a widescreen prog trance remix from EL EL stalwart Relaunch racking up several plays on Paul Van Dyk's VONYC Sessions. Top marks. There was clearly more mileage in the original's driving-stabby-vandit esque riff, though - so we were truly made up when Speedmaster Records head honcho / trance pioneer Paul Copping heard it, liked it, and agreed to rework it.

Berlin based Speedmaster Records has been (and continues to be) a driving force within the fast, melodic, new school trance scene, releasing high nrg music from Part Time Killer, Funk Tribu, Technokool, and SIOC. With this in mind, Paul's remix of Locomotion finds another ratio gear, pitching things up, and adding a techy Marco V style drive over a tough and chunky groove. Choo-Choo!

On the B-Side, Borderline Records boss Activa - who has since signed some of Chris's music (and shared our musings re the untapped old-school-love-parade-energy of Locomotion) has given us the rework he's been playing out in his sets. A faithful re-spray that tightens, tunes, and touches things up in all the right places.

Back to my own name - Old Skool Oakenfold fan  - I play trance yet apparently thats now called prog/etho/house but the 140 stuff mainly blows

GR3G (Greg Anderson) from Edinburgh i was brought up listening to Trance when the first Trance Boom hit in the 90s. Listening to singles on his Sony Walkman cassette player walking to school, had my first decks at the age of 18 and attended his first Trance Gig at the age of 16 being Godskitchen and was in awe of the atmosphere it brings to everyone in a Trance crowd.

Inspired by Dj’s like System F, Above & Beyond, Tiesto, Armin , Paul Van Dyk, Fred Baker, Binary Finary, Cosmic Gate and many more. More recent years John O’Callaghan , Bryan Kearney, Nick Callaghan, Sneijder, Lostly, Scot Project, Mark Sherry, John Askew, Simon Patterson, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Will Atkinson the list goes on 😁👌

GR3G’s Passion is Trance but does cross over into techno all blending into a journey for his listeners.

Played for: Edinburgh Underground Events
