I don't know if anyone else noticed this new EP but apparently there's this release on newly formed "Trance Wax" label which I thought was quite interesting.
These are all basically just edits of fairly commercial anthems and they incorporate breakbeats in every single track, but what I thought was really funny is that they don't release any artist info about any of these at all.
People are definitely iffy about these if you go to read the discogs comments but have a look, I don't know what to make out of these but I thought this was both interesting and amusing:
SYSTEM-J
I laughed out loud at the first one. The break from Bombscare with Greece 2000 over the top. Genius!
EDIT: Word on the street seems to be it's probably Bicep and Ejeca, which wouldn't surprise me at all.
SYSTEM-J
I've also just remembered that Bicep did a special breaks mix of Café Del Mar on their Essential Mix. Skip to 01.54.00ish on this and then tell me this EP doesn't have their grubby fingerprints all over it:
Kuhis
I was aware that Ejeca might have something to do with it but I didn't think of Bicep. They seem to definitely be capable of doing something cheeky like this, it would be pretty hilarious if it turned out to be true.
evo8
These will probably go to no.1 on beatport and they'll be like "its really crazy, we only made them as a joke!!"
kosmotika
The first 2 tracks are pretty enjoyable imo...tracks 3 & 4 were a bit weak however, as the original versions of Strange World and Flaming June already had breakbeat sections in them, so it ultimately wound up sounding like an extended version of those bits.
Woony
The edits are pretty well-done but I kinda hate this half-ironic exploitation of well known trance anthems. It's happening with eurodance too, people making Pump Up The Jam bootlegs and playing Snap! accapellas.
SYSTEM-J
So it turns out it's just Ejeca. He's playing in Manchester next month as "Trance Wax". I'm wondering if it's worth checking out. Presumably he'll be mixing this stuff in with contemporary techno.
Syntonic
I managed to get a Trance Wax 4 recently, best one so far I think.
Does anyone know where the piano melody in this comes from?
Edit: its Beat Foundation – Foundations II
LoveHate
ejeca, bicep, dusky , maceo plex
etc , it seems like all of those guys were headed in this direction

hoopoe
I can't decide if this is brilliant, or equivalent to the hipster owner of a Shoreditch hoverboard emporium ironically riding around in a sinclair C5 while everyone comments how brilliant it is.
