After launching the concept with an extensive tour in the US through November and December of last year, Perfecto Records is proud to present Paul Oakenfold’s second single from his forthcoming Trance Mission album (due for release in early Summer this year).
The Trance Mission album will feature Paul Oakenfold cover versions of ten of his all time favourite trance records.
This second single (the first being Paul’s cover of Café Del Mar on Perfecto Fluoro) from the album features Paul’s take on a 90’s anthem of mammoth proportions.
“Toca Me was a massive record for me in the late 90’s – as I know it was for a lot of my peers at the time. It was one of those tracks that you could play in any situation and the place would go off. When the idea came up of doing the Trance Mission covers album this was one of the first titles I immediately knew I wanted to cover. There have been some great remixes of the original Fragma version over the years so I knew I had to make something different and so I went for a style and direction that many are currently referring to new school trance.”
Completing the package Perfecto regulars East Freaks deliver a kicking peak time electro house monster, while Benjani takes things in an uber cool driving, melodic, progressive trance direction. Breaks guru Eshericks completes the package with a bone breaking bass bonanza.
This is the first chapter in P aul Oakenfold’s Trance Mission story.
Turn on, tune in and drop out.
Dimitri Kechagias review: After the huge success of Paul Oakenfold's brilliant rework on the unforgettable Cafe Del Mar now is the time for the 2nd release coming from his album that will include reworks of 10 beloved trance classics. Fragma's Ibiza trance anthem Toca Me is back once again and the legend Paul Oakenfold reassemble it in a way that will give you goosebumps and shivers straight away. The club mix is a powerful powertrancer that will be played in many mainstage sets around the world. Tough drum beats, hardstyle sounding aggressive basslines and fantastic emotional breakdown with the guitar riff doing the damage once again. You listen to it and you are transferred straight away to holiday resorts. His manic drop will cause mayhem on the dancefloor so better expect the unexpected. Benjami remix is cool melodic progressive remix that shines as well. Moving on the verge of progressive trance and progressive house this remix has definitely its own identity and manage to translate the original in his very own style. Third on remix duties is the house project East Freaks. Their remix is the perfect big room weapon of destruction with heavy slamming beats, banging sharp in your face basslines and excellent application of the original guitar riff. What stands out on this remix is the ability to take advantage of the original ideas and come up with something very unique and totally mindblowing. It is Essential Choice for house jocks. Last but not least Estherics well known for their earth shuttering breaks tracks service their magnificent version that will impress with its anarchic rioting composition. It starts with breaks and lands on the first breakdown that the guitar riff is introduced and follows the massive drum roll that will build the tension. The breaks continue in a more aggressive way with psy trance influences. The 2nd breakdown is equally mesmerising and emotional and suddenly on the drop rather than getting breaks the track continues in 4 to 4 floor beat that will surprise many. It follows the sorter breakdown in order to bring back the break beats. Innovative remix that challenge our perceptions of music genres and what is acceptable or not. Excellent package to support Paul's modern update on Toca Me! Love IT
