If you’re a fan of Moby, earth shattering Techno and twisted Tech House, it’s your lucky day because Sweden’s world renowned Techno label, Drumcode, found themselves in the fortunate position to be able to handpick 9 of their artists to remix several of Moby’s biggest hits. All of the remixes are of the very highest standard and have been executed brilliantly. If you encounter any of these tracks on a dance floor, be prepared to end up in a sweaty mess after an amazing mind altering experience.

The Coventry based duo, Feral Creatures, are about to blow your minds with their remix of Future Sound Of London‘s classic ‘Papa New Guinea’. Their Progressive Tech House take on the original is nothing short of epic! Full of intensity, intrigue, darkness, except for the breakdown, which shines down like a shard of sunlight from a clearing storm. I’ve found myself quite addicted to this remix and I’m sure many of you will do to.

‘Industrial’ is punctuated by super effective gnarly stabs that entice the listener onto the dance floor. ‘Dangerous Grounds’ operates a ground where bouncing kicks collide with cavernous Techno keys.
