Slacker_psychout(mixes)-official Release
-After nearly a thousand pm's/myspace messages/emails, we're proud to announce an epoch for RUHNSONG RECORDINGS. Not only is today the first Vinyl release for our label, but we also release mixes of a legendary artist who has helped shape the sounds of dance music for over a decade
SLACKER-PSYCHOUT(2007 LEGENDARY TRIBUTE REMIXES)
Appears on RUHNSONG RECORDINGS via the grace of Shem "Slacker" McCauley's Label Juke Box In The Sky
The Original Mixes of Psychout written by Shem McCauley and Simon Rogers came in 4 versions, the most notable of them were the "Mind mix" and the "Alone mix", The "Alone mix" aka "thing mix" can most easily be remembered as being on Disc 2 of Nick Warren's Global Underground 008 Brazil Disc
Psychout(Micah's 2007 Tribute to a legend remix)
-Micah's remix takes it's parts from the "Mind" mix of Psychout, and has been played everywhere since February of this year by dance luminary and pioneer John Digweed, this mix stays very true to the original, it's dark,chugging and does some major damage on the dancefloor
Psychout(Tungsten and Wulfram's Light Cyclin' remix)
-Tungsten and Wulfram are a brand new duo team consisting of long time friends and dj's in Calgary: Micah and Chris LaPietra
This mix takes it's parts from the Alone mix, twisting the original etheral feel into a crazy mind trip that messes with clubbers heads, it's dark, sinister and hard to let go once youve heard it.
Reviews/Accolades
-Support from John Digween, Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo and many many more
-"IDJ MAG-JUNE TOP TUNE"
"...Micah's '2007 Tribute To A Legend' Mix which takes the original concept and successfully reinvents it into a stunning piece of progressive house that will create havoc on any given dance floor...This new version is a fantastic example of how effective dance music can be when all the right elements fall into place.
...On the flipside we find the Tungsten & Wulfram 'Lightcyclin' Mix offers up another completely different version of 'Psychout'..... There's such a complexity to Tungsten & Wulfram’s remix that it forces you to listen to it again and again in case something was missed on previous occasions. For me, this is very much a listening type of track and works wonderfully on a purely aural level and as such, the end result is quite haunting.
I'll be honest in saying that I was quite dubious about 'Psychout' being remixed, as it's been one of my favourite tracks since its release way back in 1998. However, with this particular release, both Micah and Tungsten & Wulfram have paid a lot of respect to Slacker's original track. This is great example of how a classic can be successfully updated and transformed into two very exceptional and striking ways while still keeping the main elements of the original. Micah's mix is a richly progressive interpretation that begs to be heard on a large sound system while Tungsten & Wulfram's is for me a much more personal endeavour with its various complexities...-Antonella Sirec @ www.progressive-sounds.com"
Available May 7th at Vinyl Shops around the globe/May 14th at digital stores everywhere!
We Hope you enjoy this release!
All the best,
Micah
