1. Johnny Yono Remix [Trance]
As far classic releases from the Perfecto Records back catalogue go there are few more generation defining than Grace - Not Over Yet. Originally reaching number 6 in the UK Top 40 charts, Not Over Yet was a major cross-over record which legacy continues today through the countless compilation albums who have hosted it and the long list of unofficial remixes that have continued to breathe new life into it. A huge Sasha and Digweed classic (as featured on their legendary 1994 Renaissance compilation album) this infectious record from Paul Oakenfold was a firm favourite for a variety of A list DJ’s, from an even wider variety of genre backgrounds across the globe.
With Perfecto Records beginning the process of re-releasing a carefully picked selection of highlight tracks from the label’s back catalogue – what better way to begin than with Not Over Yet.
The first remix by Johnny Yono brings his trademark epic trance sound with a journey as epic if not more than the original. Time to re-invent as classic.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Johnny Yono is an exceptional talent with releases on the most prestigious labels. His remix on the Grace classics omits the original synthy melody and replaces it with brand new one and the vocals sound are redone rather than being the original from the 90's. Perfect for Festivals loud sound systems and radio stations will obey to play but still it is not on the level of the Protoculture vs Max Graham remix.[/content]
