Here’s a tip: Hujaboy and TechTonic recently leaked a pair of remixes that might be of interest to anyone with a fondness for mid-nineties “electronica” (as it was marketed back then) and an active appreciation of modern full-on psytrance. Hujaboy, as most readers may know, is one of the top producers working in Israel these days–just check out his latest album, Black Belt. TechTonic, on the other hand, is a newcomer from Tel Aviv. Together they have taken on two memorable anthems from the good old days: Orbital’s Remind and Setting Sun by the Chemical Brothers. Both have been retooled as effective dance floor hits in the 140-142 BPM range; don’t expect anything too deep and sophisticated! Hujaboy and TechTonic provided this disclaimer with their initial post: “Please take note that both tracks were not made for commercial use of any kind. They are just for fun and listening at home.” If you’re keen on checking out these cover versions they are available in WAV format; download them here.
