A pretty hard to find vinyl with two brillant mixes of these two original Sasha productions.

Sander Kleinenberg takes the track 'Scorchio' into a bit more groovy direction with his remix. A soft bassline and some rolling percussion together with swift hi-hats slowly build the track during a lengthy intro. A subtile guitar-riff alleady shows some of what is about to come as we approach the track's peak, where the main synth-section delivers some serious amounts of energy. After that it's no less than three minutes of 'grooving' until the track finally comes to a halt. Kleinenberg manages to add energy and make the song more uplifting, while the sound itself remains rather light. A very subtile, yet pleasant remix.

For 'Lupus' there doesn't seem to be an original mix. The story goes that Sasha was working on a track but couldn't find the time to finish it, handing the material he had over to Jimmy Van M and Cass & Slide, who delivered this incredible production.
A deep basskick and funky, but sensual percussion start to build, when very creepy sounds emerge. Things that either could be crying voices or some form of a synthetic flute or trumpet. Either way the result is a very eerie and haunting sensation, which even gets strengthened as it gets acompanied by a lower-toned sequence made of somewhat the same formula, together with a deep and dark bassline. All gets even better as these 'crying voices' evolve into a chorus, bringing a very dark and melancholic melody where several layers of these creepy 'vocals' top eachother in an outrageous climax.
Although the song has an almost horrific feel to it, it is a very beatifull and interesting track. Obscure and dark, but packed with huge emotions. A definate masterpiece, unique in it's kind.

A fantastic pair of remixes. Sander Kleinenberg takes an already polished tune and draws it out into a nice long chilled version which mixes really comfortably, and the stabbing synth that replaces the guitar fits the tune perfectly. And then, on the flip, where you would usually expect a lesser tune, is a beautifully dark and moody remix of Lupus - not that you would expect much else when Jimmy Van M and Cass & Slide are working together.

What a cool piece of wax. Sander's remix is incredible and C&S/Van M's mix is wild, wacky deep and out of this world... one of the most creative remixes I've ever heard.
