Originally posted by phl1979 Black Hole vs. Umek Recently Black Hole Recordings has gained the world wide rights of DJ UMEK'S techno banger called "Gatex". Being on Tiësto's playlist for months now he decided that the track needed a slammin' remix, and signed the track for his very own label "Magik Muzik". New mixes of the track from DJ Tiësto and DJ Montana are to be expected this summer. So stay tuned for the new mixes of this techno monster. (source: www.black-hole.nl) That will be a tough challenge for both Tiësto and Montana IMO, to remix such an outstanding techno classic... glad though that Tiësto is also recognizing the potential of genres other than trance. What do you guys think? Will such a remix work?

I think that is logical. Umek made a remix for Black Hole (for Montana's latest single) and Tiesto likes Umek's stuff (eg.Oronazol).
But even though I was very surprised that this has happen.
Why? Well Umek doesn't like trance at all and he doesn't like Tiesto. He said once in an interview when he was asked if he would remix Tiesto he answered that he 'wouldn't ruin his reputation that he has gained in last years with a remix for Tiesto '. I was shocked by this statement and lost any respect for him as a person (he's great as a DJ, I must admit).

About the remix I think it will work, because Gatex has this great melody all throug the tune and I think that Tiesto will work on this....

I agree destroy a Umek tune like that.....

But maybe i am wrong about it.....It´s just wait and see when it´s out....

Heard this tune by tiesto and fergie lat night at gcsss.

Tiestos remix will probably just have bass added, something that i know a lot of people wanted from his livesets, and will get a full vinyl release now.

Also i know there is another remix that i havent heard. I must say tiestos version does sound better.

But this is just such an amazing tune

I must admit that this sounds kinda weird.I mean,techno producers are notorious for hating trance,since they are all about "keeping it underground" and all of that stuff.Umek is among the last producers that I would expect to have anything to do with trance at all.This...

..just confirms all of my statements above.(no pun intended,vermi)And now "Gatex" gets signed to Magik Muzik????Talk about an anti-climax.I guess that Umek needs the money.Can't think of any other reason that would make him change his opinion so dramatically.

As for the remixes,I think that a remix by Montana can work very well.I think Montana did a great job on "Theme From Concept",and with material like "Gatex",this can indeed be an interesting remix.As for Tiesto,I have no idea what his remix will sound like.I've never imagined Tiesto getting involved in techno produtionwise,but that just makes it more exciting to see the result.

This is also a delicious middle-finger to all the purists and genre fascists,which is always welcome if you ask me.

Why add bass when the lack of it is exactly what makes the track stand out?

you sure its magik music and not just black hole. magik muzik is a sub label of black hole as im sure you are aware, but i thought it was for tiesto's own music, hence why 653, urban train, lethal ind, and his album are the only tracks currently on it?! not arguening in anyway or disputing it, just wondering if the information is 100% accurate as im very interested. ill be chekcing it out either way.

EDIT - i guess your right, i just checked the webby, so i beleive it.
probably gettign on the MM label cos tiesto is remixing it himself?!?!

I dunno, but i like both versions. I suppose the bas version just makes it better live, i dunno
