You can never have too much of a good thing. Following Slusnik Luna's superb '2011' and the much-loved 4 Strings remix, we have a bumper package of 'Sun 2011' remixes - each adding their own individual slant to this updated classic.
First up, though is the legendary track that inspired all these updates - the original 'Sun' anthem from 2000. Regarded by many as one of the most legendary trance tracks of all time, for those that missed out on Slusnik Luna's original 'Sun' anthem (which actually made the UK top 40 pop charts back in the day), it's here in all its uplifting, bleepy glory.
The bouncy, electronic house rework from Joonas Hahmo is an upbeat rework that captures the original's uplifting elements in a fresh, Ibiza-ready groove.
Resident at UK trance bastion Passion, upcoming producer Genix takes things into darker, deeper territory with his gnarly, innovative rework - full of worming bass grooves and sneaky melody snippets.
Rising Finnish star Heikki L turns in a progressive-tweaked electro-trance powerhouse, while DJ Orion & J Shore recruit some live strings for their elegant and gloriously slo-mo chill-out reinterpretation - a beautiful, alternative listening experience.
Absolute rubbish as is to be expected from Anjunabeats. None of the remixes offer anything at all. Just idea-poor pointless remakes of the original. If you're gonna remix something, try to at least have an idea behind your remix, something that makes it great instead of just updating it "to the current sound" with the current sound cookie cutter. 0/10 for the remixes .
10/10 for the original.

If carlsberg did remixes they'd probably be the best remixes in the world.
These however are awful money-making tripe. Ok, so he wanted to update his own track, fine, but the argument for all of these? There isn't a dimension where I think one works.
