Venetian Snares vs. Bong-Ra - 4 Adaptations Of Rossz Csillag Alatt Született - 26-Jun-06 01:56 AM
I don't see what the fuzz is about this record. So there are some slow jazz drums, so what? That's about the only thing added to the tracks. Every second of the originals are breathtakingly beautiful, and while I do think that the feel of this record is different than that of "Rossz Csillag Alatt Született" I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing. What I will praise, however, is the fact that Bong-Ra produced something else entirely than what I was expecting. Because this is definitely not "Rossz Csillag Alatt Született" mixed with the jungle/hardcore mix that Bong-Ra's probably most known for.
Miss Yetti - Out Of Control (Remixes) - 25-Feb-05 12:40 AM
If you were playing the misunderstood, silent, Herculean hero character in a video game, set in a Frank Miller-esque background (think "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns", "Sin City", "Daredevil"), and you were about to do final battle against some-immense-evil, David Carretta's remix is what should be pouring out of your speakers. It more than holds it own against the grim industrial backdrop. You're feeling wary, but prepared. Tense, but raving mad.

Alk-E-D - Remix Records & Kniteforce Present 'The Remix's' Part 7 - 07-Nov-04 03:41 PM
I don't know why, but Let's Go always reminds me more of the theme from Hill Street Blues than the the tune it's actually based on; I Wanna Dance With Somebody, which was written by George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam. It's a great choon to start with, but Luna-C manages to push it even further and a lot higher. It's got an energy to it that the original just didn't have - some of that can be attributed to the higher BPM - but for the most part it's knowing what the crowd wants. On the flipside we have DJ Slam's remix of Raw, which is just that - at least compared to Let's Go. It's a good tune, but doesn't offer anything out of the ordinary. 4/5.
Osymyso - Rabbit To Rabbit - 23-Jul-04 12:05 AM
A tribute to all things bunny. "Rabbit To Rabbit" samples "Tales Of Beatrix Potter" (1971), a screen adaptation of Beatrix Potter's book about "Peter Rabbit" from 1902. The track also features the famous "I'm hunting wabbits" sample sung by Elmer Fudd in Looney Tunes animated short "What's Opera, Doc?" from 1957. On the flipside we have "Fiver To Bigwig", both of which are characters from "Watership Down" (written by Richard Adams). This track borrows its melody from Art Garfunkel's "Bright Eyes" - which is the theme for "Watership Down". My pick of the two tracks is definitely "Fiver To Bigwig" because the added beats really takes the melody to new heights. Also, the kid singing the "Bright Eyes" lyrics at the end is absolutely hilarious... and oh-so-cute.
Jimmy J Recordings - 30-Apr-04 02:13 PM
Not really a label, but more of an outlet for Jim Foster (Jimmy J) to release stuff he thought had potential - starting with what became one of the biggest tunes in happy hardcore history; a remix of Nena's 80's smash-hit "99 Red Balloons". A track which, incidentally, Chris Howell (Luna-C) of Kniteforce, passed on.
