Maurizio ‎– Domina

This is a bad-ass record. I'll never get rid of it. Nuff said.

According to me "The Domina Maurizio mix" is totally incredible.

I do not have enough words to describe the beauty of this track. A work of art who should be forever reside in the pantheon of music of the late twentieth century. Just perfect !

one of my favorite basic channel tracks , unfortunately my copy is cut off centre that side(gets more wonky as the track goes on) . first heard the carl craig mix on slam's essential mix .. classic

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.

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.
