808 State ‘Pacific State’ (greg wilson electric chair edit)

130 bpm

Never previously shared.

Madchester anthem from 1989, which, along with ‘WFL’ by the Happy Mondays, ‘Voodoo Ray’ by A Guy Called Gerald and ‘Fools Gold’ by the Stone Roses, encapsulates the time when the rainy city was at the epicentre of the dance universe.

Twenty years later I included it as the closing track on my Essential Mix (http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/essential-mix-greg-wilson-mix-for-bbc-radio-1), and, as with the opening track, the Dimitri From Paris edit of ‘Down To Love Town’ by The Originals, it features Jesse Jackson’s invocation from the 1972 Wattstax festival (which had previously been used to such great effect by Andrew Weatherall in his remix of ‘Come Together’ by Primal Scream).

However, I originally put this together not for the Essential Mix, but to open my appearance at the Electric Chair Last Supper on December 29th 2007. A number of previous guests had been invited to play for half an hour each, as the decision had been made to close this Manchester institution whilst it was still at the height of its popularity. As things worked out, I was the final guest to deejay at this cherished club night - only the residents played after me. I wanted to pay my respects in a proper manner, evoking the spirit of Manchester past, back through the halcyon late 80’s days of The Haçienda to my own time there in ’83, and at Legend beforehand, via a handful of track selections that reflected the spirit of this great music city, for which the Electric Chair, soon to be no more, had written a further chapter. You can stream / download the mix here: http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/electric-chair-last-supper-29

The purpose of this edit was purely to extend the intro of the ‘Pacific 707’ version to suitably build into Jesse Jackson's poignant words before the beats kick in, whilst adding some subtle ambience to add to the overall atmospheric of this wonderful track, which always struck me as a ‘Stranger On The Shore’ for the Rave generation (the evocative 1961 single by clarinettist Acker Bilk, the first British recording to reach #1 in the USA).

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.

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike team up with Vini Vici to breathe new life into Cherrymoon Trax classic ‘The House Of House’ 

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have been busy so far in 2018, touring worldwide in locations such as Asia and the USA, showcasing their diversity and cementing their place in the upper echelons of dance music. With roles in films such as the upcoming Belgian film ‘Patser’ and ‘The Bouncer’ alongside Jean Claude Van Damme, combined with Like Mike’s recent solo outing with ‘Memories’, the pair have been displaying their far-reaching talents, and with the Belgian brothers latest output, the team up with Vini Vici and Cherrymoon Trax for a Psytrance remake of the latter’s iconic Bonzai Recordings release ‘The House Of House’, Belgium’s favourite duo once again showcase a wide array of skill and proficiency in the studio.
 Previous collaborations have been fruitful for the pair, which recent David Guetta team-up ‘Complicated’ ft Kiiara amassing over 80 million Spotify streams to date. Having previously worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, including W&W, Diplo and Ne-Yo, the pair are well versed in heavyweight team-ups, and that experience is on show again, as the track, a remake of the 1994 still in-demand wax classic, preserves the best elements of the original whilst adding modern touches that firmly bring the track into 2018. The flowing, electronic atmospherics of the original are present in abundance, and are layered with a multitude of synths that provide a textural soundbed for the harder beats to pound through. The track is peak-time festival primed, as the original melody is slowed down in the main breakdown to provide fans with a hands-in-the-air break that builds slowly, ramping up the intensity of the second drop. 
 ‘The House Of House’ also features a music video, comprised of footage of the track being played at some of the biggest events in the world by Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Vini Vici, including Bringing the Madness and, having already been road tested on the biggest stage of all, Tomorrowland, it’s safe to say the proof is evident that ‘The House Of House’ is guaranteed to get the party started, and is well placed to make an immediate impact on dancefloors the world over for some time to come, ensuring Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike retain their status at the top of the dance music pyramid.

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike Vs Vini Vici & Cherrymoon Trax - The House Of House

Gave this M.I.K.E classic from 1998 a little makeover to use in some of my Techno sets.

Dropped the pace a little, added a banging modern Techno style kick (sampled from Jay Lumen - Balance) , a little eq'ing, added some subtle effects along with one or two other minor changes and job done.

Simple, but effective :)
