To mark the 25th anniversary of their seminal track ‘Catch’, British electronic act Kosheen are rolling out a powerful series of reworks — starting with an electrifying reinterpretation by techno maestro Reinier Zonneveld, dropping now on Armada Music.
No stranger to recharging iconic cuts for modern dancefloors, Zonneveld delivers a relentless and high-octane version titled ‘Catch (Bounce Mix)’, injecting the original’s trip-hop roots with pounding kicks, turbocharged energy, and rave-ready intensity: Hard, fast, and unapologetically bouncy.
Originally released in 2000, ‘Catch’ showcased Kosheen’s signature fusion of trip-hop, drum and bass, and breakbeat— a genre-blending sound that helped define the early 2000s UK electronic scene. The track featured on their platinum-selling debut album ‘Resist’ (2001), alongside other crossover anthems like ‘Hide U’, ‘Hungry’ and ‘All In My Head’.
This rework series is part of Kosheen’s broader celebration of their 25-year legacy, which kicked off in 2023 with a global tour spotlighting the band’s most iconic tracks. With vocalist and songwriter Sian Evans still at the helm, Kosheen continues to captivate new generations while honoring the raw energy and innovation that made them a household name.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Reinier Zonneveld, renowned for his exhilarating reimaginations of iconic tracks, embarks on a compelling journey with his first rework in a series for Kosheen’s ‘Catch (Bounce Mix)’. This version stands as a testament to Zonneveld's mastery of hardstyle production, meticulously crafted to energize festival crowds and ignite dance floors with uncompromising intensity. At its core, the track pulses at a vigorous 146 BPM, a tempo characteristic of high-energy hardstyle. The rhythmic foundation is built upon robust, punchy kick drums that drive the track with relentless force. These tough drums are layered with intricately programmed percussive elements, featuring sharp, metallic hits that add a dynamic texture and aggressive edge to the overall soundscape. The bassline is a crucial component, engineered with raw, gritty synths that create a resonant, vibrating undercurrent. This rawness is achieved through meticulous sound design techniques, possibly incorporating distortion, saturation, and modulation effects to give the bass its signature hardstyle growl. The interplay between the bass and drums is finely tuned, ensuring a tight, cohesive groove that maintains momentum throughout the track. Vocally, Kosheen’s original lines are preserved and elevated. The excellent vocal performance is processed with precision to suit the fast-paced environment—likely involving pitch adjustments, time-stretching, and creative reverb/delay effects to blend seamlessly with the hard-hitting instrumental. The top vocal shines brilliantly, cutting through the dense mix and providing a melodic anchor amidst the sonic chaos. Zonneveld’s production techniques showcase his ability to balance aggressive energy with clarity and impact. The mixdown is meticulously handled, ensuring that each element—from the pounding drums to the shimmering highs—occupies its own space without overpowering others. The mastering process likely emphasizes loudness and crispness, key for tracks destined for large festival sound systems. Ultimately, this rework of ‘Catch’ is not just a high-octane anthem but a masterclass in hardstyle production. Its technical prowess, combined with Zonneveld’s signature flair, makes it a surefire crowd-pleaser and a standout festival-friendly anthem. #PureGold Love IT. [/content]
