Sorry for the delay folks.  The wait is almost over.  The EP will be available on an advanced release through Beatport and Bandcamp on 22nd October and a couple of weeks after that, all over. Release dates to be confirmed in a day or 2....in the mean time here is a sampler!  The full mix is a suitably epic 11 minutes!  The EP features also the original and Astrals High Freakage Cut....

The remix features a new vocal by Raja Ram...do you recognise it?

I presume you all know that The Infinity Project (T.I.P.) was Tip´s own band and featured Graham Wood and Raja Ram.  They gave us some of the most defining moments of Goa Trance and this track is one of the most loved classics of the genre.  Engineered by Martin Freeland/ Man With No Name and now remixed by those other illustrious pioeneers of the genre, Astral Projection.  A winning combo for sure!

Art Of Trance ‘Octopus - The 2015 Remixes’  [PLATMU92]

1. Art Of Trance ‘Octopus’ (Gai Barone’s Gallery Remix)
2. Art Of Trance ‘Octopus’ (Perfect Stranger Remix)
3. Art Of Trance ‘Octopus’ (Rick Pier O’Neil Remix)
4. Art Of Trance ‘Octopus’ (Matt Holliday Remix)
5. Art Of Trance ‘Octopus’ (Gai Barone’s Smileodontic Remix)
6. Art Of Trance ‘Octopus’ (Original Mix Remastered)

Originally released back in ’95, ‘Octopus’ is one of Simon Berry’s strongest Art Of Trance releases to date. Later that year, it was remixed by R&S artist Capricorn (of 20Hz fame) and Man With No Name, so it seemed that after 20 years new remixes were surely justified.

Italy’s fast rising star Gai Barone has delivered quite possibly the finest remix he’s ever done with his Gallery Remix. Not only that, he decided to do a second remix for good measure.

Israel’s Yuli from Perfect Stranger serves up a very solid mix which stays closer to the original.

Frenchman, Rick Pier O’Neil returns with another sublime slice of sunrise.

Englishman, Matt Holliday offers a spacious and textured soundscape for his interpretation and is followed by a remastered version of the original.

Art Of Trance ‘Octopus - The 2015 Remixes’ is available on 30th November 2015 on Platipus Records exclusively from Beatport and from 14th Dec on all other portals.

Despite possible negative connotations with our name, we in fact draw our inspiration from an ancient spiritual Britain. Our aim is to make a positive association with an old name and promote the unity of all.
Long ago the Union Jack banner was created as a representation of something positive for this nation. Let go of the negative feelings about our history. It was the past, this is the future – There Will Be No Armageddon.

Art Of Trance - Octopus (Man With No Name Remix)

I had to go kind of deep to publish this second EP on ESP. I allready was doing a lot of other stuff in (media) publishing and wasn't finishing my tracks.  A&R guy Fred Berkhout asked me kindly all the time and we had a lot of laughs (and cries) because of it. I wasn't to good in finishing stuff back then. But finally I managed.
Funny note: I noticed (music) publishers were not doing a lot, so I started 'minimal publishing'. Got me 30% of the revenue extra, while doing the same as the other publishers: not much! The music bizz is a strange business.
