TUNE! you forget just how much great music was on this label over the years.  Great mix mate - full of classics : )

Yes mate it was, or should I say is (its been launched) a fantastic label! Enjoyed doing this mix, think we need to have a deck session playing through all the prog tunes from this period!

Killahurtz - West On 27th (A Tribe Called KHz Mix) - One of the best prog tunes ever produced in my opinion. I still remember hearing Tongy drop this in an Essential Mix circa 2000. Gives me goosebumps.

@mrmartypants: "Hooj" one of my favorites labels.

Kinga makes a debut release on GM with the fantastic "Nomad", a true summer tune fit for any terraced evening. Kinga has seen releases on labels like P.S Records, Technique and Open Records.

The Original Mix is a light hearted take on progressive house with a summer vibe that invokes a sense of contentment with everything. The feel good factor is in full flow due to the very catchy synth hook and accompanying guitar, the synth work is top notch with filtering and modulation in all the right places. The bassline is just stunning, creating a pulsating rhythm. On the break the melodies take over before getting back to the groove, a must for any set.

Silkway steps up for remix duties. Silkway has worked with Kinga in the past with a remix on Kinga's "Daydream" and it's clear that this partnership works well. Silkway has also seen releases on P.S along with Stereofaza and System Recordings. The remix is a credit to the original with a cool summertime vibe flowing through the sound. Chunky kicks alongside soft hats and percussions, the bassline sits in the background waiting to pounce as it builds up the energy. The big focus here lies with the brilliant synth melodies which come to prominence on the break, another fine progressive house slice.

Nomad

Kinga - Nomad (Green Martian)

Veteran Gai Barone steps up to remix duty with his Vox On Wax Remix. Gai is fresh off the back of a wonderful remix for Manu Riga & Nico Parisi's track "Reborn" and is currently working on new material also. As usual we are treated to a masterclass in progressive vibes from Gai with a sound drenched in deep grooves. A subtle intro builds and builds up to a full flowing hypnotic rhythm with a host of FX doing a great job as the layers continue to build. The break releases a myriad of synths where you can lose yourself completely. Monster of a tune here that will be a perfect fit in many sets!

Back to my roots with some real House Music.

Mike Woods - House is a Feeling

At the risk of dance music blasphemy, I’m releasing a project I’ve had in my head for a long time.  The greatest commercial DJ Mix of all time, in my opinion, and that of many others, is “ Renaissance - The Mix Collection” by Sasha and Digweed.  Originally released in October of 1994, it became an instant classic for many ravers and clubbers across the globe. The mix started the entire DJ mix compilation market, and that is no overstatement.  The superb track selection and absolute mixing perfection delivered an indelible mark on dance music history that, to that point, could only be heard in the underground clubs, notably at Renaissance in Mansfield, England.

Thirty years on, this DJ Mix still sounds amazing to old and new listeners alike. There are too many compelling reasons why this mix works to list here.

Over the years, many of the tracks played across the three CDs have been remixed. Others have not. My thought was, what would it sound like if all three CDs were recreated track for track, using nothing but remixes?  

Apparently, I was not the only one who had this idea.  As I was compiling remixes, working on the mix in late 2024, I checked out the latest mix from the amazing Framewerk, and lo and behold, their NYE2025 set is almost a heavy recreation of Disc 1 of The Mix Collection.  First off, I wish I was at the club where they played this set.  Second, I thought the idea was now taken.  

Finally, I thought they released one track for which I desperately needed a remix of - Bladerunner - Til We Meet Again. 

In the end, I decided to continue with my project. My mix uses remixes from many different artists, including Framewerk. While breaks are my first love, I’m using a mix of 4/4 and breakbeat remixes to complete this project. I created my own edits for a few tracks for which I could not find a good remix. 

So here is Disc 1 of the “Re-Mix Collection.” Sourcing all the tracks was not easy. I found remixes on the usual sights like Beatport and Bandcamp.  Some remixes are quite close to the originals with breaks instead of 4/4, or slight alternate genres,  others like Mattr's remix of Mephisto are almost unrecognizable from the Renaissance version.

Here is disc 2 of Renaissance the “Re-Mix” collection by me - Off Meta. This mix has been a real labor of love. Again, I’ve done a track for recreation of the mix using nothing but remixes that I found across the web, on SoundCloud, Bandcamp, & I commissioned through fellow producers along with a few creations of my own. 

Disc 2 was substantially harder to find quality remixes of every track. I connected with a few producers that created 5 completely new versions of tracks, including Let’s Get This Party Started and She Holds the Key, both done by the prolific Ranj Kaler. Blue Amazon gave me his unreleased remix of Fluke - "Slid" now available on his amazing Patreon page.  Rising breakbeat star Matty Wright delivered an updated progressive breaks remix of “Always” by Fishbone Beat that sounds both 90’s classic and modern all at the same time. It may be my favorite remix on disc 2. Veteran, Noel Sanger took the all time classic “Talk to Me” Sasha mix by Hysterix and turned into a modern progressive breaks beauty. Lost Astronaut took on the task of remixing what is arguably the least memorable song from the Disc 2, and turned it into the perfect come-down closing track. 

Finally, like Disc 1, some tracks like MBG “Trance 1” and Funtopia - “Do You Wanna” simply had no remixes, so I created my own edits that I hope are worthy of this mix.  I also used a few remixes from Jamie Rainbow that don’t stray too far from the original but have just a touch of updated flair to make them stand out. 

I appreciate hearing from you old-schoolers who love the original Renaissance like I do. Let me know your thoughts on Disc 2. I’m on to Disc 3 where I’m hoping to big with even more updated remixes of these classics.
