As soon as the likes of "Evil" Eddie Richards and Colin Dale starte3d to bust this at their respective club nights .. Eddie's 1994 Essential Mix features one of the finest examples of the Maurizio Mix being dropped, & is still a tech house Anthem to this day.

On the flip side, Carl Craig's Mind Mix works up into a house track that takes some beating - it's pure bliss! Using a vocal sample to enormous & distinct effect the track has your feet tapping and smile enhancing attributes we all love so.

Both of these Mixes were so ahead of their time, and certainly this 12" should not be forgotten ...

I had heard Carl Craig's remix back in the mid-90's but only recently heard the Maurizio original when I acquired a recent repress. WOW! I love the original version even more! I'd always liked Craig's remix (I adore most of his remix work), but the original version totally caught me off-guard and had me dancing all around my kitchen, and I was unprepared for the lady friend I was supposed to be making dinner for...

On his remix Carl used the vocals from the original "Die Dominas" record produced by Manuel Göttsching in November 1980 as a studio session with friends Rosi & Claudia Skoda.
The formula is typical for Carl, but he gives one of his best remixes to date. Vocals, drums and flutes in combination gives that typical dreamy feel only Detroit Techno embraces.

Maurizio's Mix is crisp, minimal Basic Channel sounds handcrafted to perfection. The monotony is arranged in the absolute right way which generates a hypnotic state and should go on for days.

Both sides are excellent examples of very different styles. The Maurizio original could sit for ever in the mix and is a fine, minimal dub-techno record but the Carl Craig mix is really something else. I'm not sure which elements of the original it utilises but never the less it is probably the most profoundly epic record I own. The relentless vocal sample loop, the pads / synth and the killer bassline make this one particularly special slice of wax.

Carl Craig didn't exactly made what we use to call a "remix" here. His track is very far away from the original, notably by this female voice sample looping "Domina". But as I know both tracks for years now, I've made my mind and I think that Carl made this loop inspired by the bass line of the original track. Try to mix both sides together, and something will happen...

A better slice of vinyl you're unlikely to come by. Maurizio's mix is classic deep techno, and Carl Craig's mix is...well, Carl Craig! A typically perfect balance of lush pads, driving kick drums an awesome dubbed-out bassline and clickety-clack warped hats riding on top. The guy's production is second to none. Anyone into any sort of deep electronic music has gotta own this.

Lush deep house on the Carl Craig side, the kind of tune that makes you feel like you live in a perfect world for the duration of the track. Whoever says that making music with just machines is souless, make them listen to this. Maurizio's mix is also of exceptional high quality, more minimal with a surprising change around two thirds of the way through; when mixed with Romanthony's "Wanderer" you can create something emotional, try it, do it in the right place and both tracks build at the same time with awe imspiring results. Can not recommend enough.
