Release Notes :
Originally released as part of Munich Disco Tech vol. 11 back in May, prolific
German house duo Lissat & Voltaxx's The Sunken Bells Of Ibiza simply couldn't be
held down. It's proved to be such an in-demand track this summer that it's now
being given its own full release with an excellent set of remixes to breathe new
life into it. If you don't know the original, you can take a guess at what the
crux of the musical matter is. A typically pumping big room groove from the duo
gallops away manically with a hefty dose of swing and mischief in the mix, and
those eponymous, spooky bell sounds chime in via a spacious, eerie breakdown to
intense effect. It's not a track to be used lightly; it's made for big rooms,
peak times and packed dancefloors. Carl Cox's right-hand-man Jon Rundell comes
fresh from a Beatport number one with his slick, undulating techno rework that
really lets those bells breathe. All it takes is a breakdown of epic proportions
to propel his remix into the upper echelons of techy prowess, giving a stark
contrast to his mechanical groovings. Joe Maker strips the groove down to minute
particles and stirs it all round into a bouncing, succinct, swirling beast of a
rhythm, laden with space, texture and depth. It's the sort of thing you could
expect to hear mid-Luciano set, with deft bongos pattering their away across the
stereo field and deep sub bass caressing your ribs. Philip Bader seems intent on
twisting the track into tripped out techno territory, and does so in fine,
murky, disorientating style. One for the weirder floors, the earlier hours, and
the more warped crowds.
