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.

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.

Ben Murphy goes head to head with Scientific Funk for the ‘Paradise EP’ on Something Different Again. Lovers of Big Room stabby Techno/Tech House will be in their element checking out these stellar tracks!!

‘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.

Ben Murphy & Scientific Funk offer their own alternate versions of the title track. Scientific Funk’s version contrasts the transcendental vocals with a classic techno bedding. Ben Murphy steers ‘Paradise’ into deeper waters, adding in more housey aspects into the blend. Outstanding musical content from SDA yet again.
