An exclusive preview of my cover version of 'Hold That Sucker Down' taken from my Trance Mission album which will be available for pre-order on May 19th and released on June 20th.

The album will feature 12 cover versions of some my all time favourite trance records and it will be available in double CD and digital format.

"Originally released in 1994 on Cheeky Records – “Hold That Sucker Down” by The OT Quartet (Rollo from Faithless and Rob D) was a massive chart hit worldwide. The riff is definitely one of the most instantly recognizable melody progressions in the history of electronic music. I used to play this relentlessly – not only back in the day when it first came out but again and again over the years when various decent remixes have emerged. Covering the record I wanted to do something totally different so decided to take a deeper spacey techno vibe. This version is on the Trance Mission album and there’s a killer trance remix from Johnny Yono on CD2 (a bonus CD of exclusive remixes) and we are preparing a massive line up of remixes for the single release – out in September on Perfecto."
