Back in 2001 Hatiras' Spaced Invader was exalted as one of the biggest tunes of the new millennium. It received 2 nods as BBC Radio One's Essential New Tune by Pete Tong. It was heavily supported by top jocks including The Chemical Brothers, Erick Morillo, Roger Sanchez, etc. The remixes came from the heavyweights of the electronic music world: Darren Emerson, Olav Basoski, King Unique, Ian Pooley, CZR and Mr. G. Massive underground remixes by drum & bass legends J Majik, Ed Rush & Optical and High Contrast stirred up a frenzy and spawned a new genre. The tune released through Defected Records (UK), Ministry of Sound (Australia), Universal Music (Canada), News (GAS) and International House Records (US); it was a top ten UK hit, topped the Coolcuts chart and playlists worldwide and earned Hatiras his first of two Canadian Juno Awards (the equivalent of the US Grammys) and a SOCAN award for most radio play.
Now, a decade later, DJs, artists and the press worldwide are raving about the resurgence of filtered disco house. Cut-ups of old disco records and familiar samples are resurfacing with that classic sound. The time couldnt be better to update one of the anchor tunes of that era with a fresh new package of 2010 remixes. The initial batch of "Spaced Invader" remixes are split into 2 packages that boast reworks by an international cast of producers that are truly some of the hottest, best selling and most relevant names in house today. On remix pack 1: Hatiras (Canada), Olivier Giacomotto (France), Malente (Germany), Olav Basoski (Holland) and Nome De Strip (UK) all smash the tune into this decade, each with a unique approach. Remix pack 2 is finally here! It consists of dancefloor crushing reworks by Tim Healey (UK), Santiago & Bushido (US), Kid Dub vs Eric Volta (France), Robb G (Canada), Hatiras (Canada) and two fresh mixes for the breaks-minded by Brazil's Cybass and the Dean Cue from parts unknown. Pick and choose the mix you fancy - but be warned that ALL of the mixes will erupt a dancefloor, and are all usable for the right situation to make you look good ;)
