All good things come in threes! Here comes the third and final Remix edition from the Monika Kruse album Changes of Perceptions. Once Again the Remixers names read like the techno scenes, who’s is who: Heartthrob, Sierra Sam and Luca Morris & Paul C remixed the tracks ’Hope ’ and ’Spank Me Later’.
Heartthrob’s Remix of ’Hope’ is a true delicacy for all techno Gourmets. Minus wonder child created a distinguished Track that is coined through its dark mood and the typical heartthrob Bassline. A lot of tension is
created through the sophisticated tweaking of sounds. Hope - Heartthrob remix is a track that is ambitious and club friendly alike.
Luca Morris aka microdynamic is the new shooting star from Italy. Like Heartthrob he and Paul C interpreted ’Hope’ as well and created a track with a funky and housy bassline. In addition with Monika Kruse’s vocal samples this track makes everybody shake their hips. The melody with its deep toms, which not even a jens Zimmermann could have created in a better way, qualifies this track as a definite dancefloor bomb.
Sierra Sam’s remix of ’Spank MeLater’ is housy and jazzy alike. The atmospheric vocals and the piano make the track a true summer tune which one can either enjoy at the beach or at a club as well. It is definitely outstanding since it does not follow the usual scheme of build up, break and heavy baseline but takes the listener on an unforgettable Melodic journey.
