Remy - Live @ Dance Valley 04.08.2001

The year is 2004. This was the last year of the Orgasmatron show on Radio Italia. Nu Nrg was not long for the world, with Ottaviani and Ribeca to split not long after in 2007. Since Radio Italia was sold earlier in the year and was heading in a new direction, the producers of the radio show wanted to broadcast one last set before wrapping up the show for good. They gave their friends Giuseppe and Andrea a call, whose sets on the show were legendary, to come back one last time to rock the good people of planet earth with some amazing melodic hard trance. The set was recorded in full lossless quality by some lovely soul at the studio, which is shared with you today.

Of course this did not happen, but this set was created to embody the spirit and mojo that was Nu Nrg near the end of their run. The Nu Nrg Orgasmatron sets of 2002 were for me, the pinnacle of trance at the time. Massive energy, hard as nails, while still retaining the incredible melodies the duo were known for. This set shares a moment or two with the legendary recordings, however, the journey is its own. What always struck me about their sets, is that they were so balls-to-the-wall, yet they always gave you a journey with layers of sound and a unique character in each of their tracks. I never noticed many producer sets at the time, they were a bit unique in this regard, but boy could they pull it off. Well, usually with a few tracks from other labels, but rarely more than a few. A few of these are personal vinyl rips, also with 5 tracks they never released, which they were playing near the end. Their unreleased stuff is some of my favorite, maybe some day they'll release them for nostalgia's sake. I hope you enjoy this and that it lives up to that which was Nu Nrg and Orgasmatron.  Cheers!
