Summary
Mikerobenics all time classic trance beauty The Cat And The Canary is back with brand new remixes to play again and again in your modern futuristic techno and trance sets. There are plenty of great versions to choose from and get mesmerized on that very seminal record. Noah Levin takes the track back to its trance roots and manages to revamp the original atmosphere to the current climate. Punchy driving basslines, thumping kicks, bouncy percussion, plenty of acid overtones and cool distorted vocals along with the exotic slightly psychedelic synthy themes. This is the spirit of a truly trance record with focus on being hypnotic, lethargic and mysterious making you feeling totally lost in music. The Electronic Advance and DJ Nasty Deluxe version is powerful to the max as it should be a modern version. Fantastic bouncy techy basslines, rough metallic kicks, acid overtones and the characteristic melodies and vocal samples that turns this version into the ultimate techno weapon. Top melodic breakdown leading on acid focused climax that simply make you dance. Our beloved 90's icon Baby Doc pushes the track into the acid techno territory with a huge rave climax that is powerful to the max and will be impossible not to start jumping around. This is real acid trance that is tripping out and hard to the max. Lastly the friends of deep melodic tech house will enjoy dearly the Barbaros remix. Massive version that is perfect to play in the early stages of your set and create the perfect psychedelic infused party with organic elements, great percussive sounds, acid and top application of the strong original synthy riff! Blu Fin is such a quality label always with high class releases against the grain and pushing the boundaries. #PureGold Love IT
