After Fergie's massive "Eye Of Storm / Maktub" release, next up on his forward thinking Excentric Muzik label is the first offering from a new collaboration between two men of the moment, Christian Smith & Reset Robot, entitled "Elixir".
2009 has seen past Smith & Selway releases "Move" and "Work It" re-mastered and reworked to re-launch Christian's Tronic label (Fergie was asked to remix "Work It") and have brought his house and techno crossover sound to a new generation. Huge remixes coming soon of Sasha - "Xpander" and Trancesetters - "The Search" are set to further fuel the fire. 2009 has also been the year Reset Robot's massive 3 track'er on Dubfire's Sci+Tec dropped, with "Do The Slot", "Pig Nose" and "Moklai" all going on to storm the sets and charts of the cream of house and techno. Supported by everyone from Richie Hawtin and Eric Prydz to Pete Tong, Dubfire also included "Do The Slot" on his recent "10 Years Of Cocoon" mix cd.
"Elixir" is a driving monster with one of the catchiest and most addictive hooks of the year, instantly recognisable and is sure to be the highlight of many sets as it has been for Fergie over the summer. On remix duties is Mr Henry Von, who runs Excentric sub-label Rekluse with Fergie. His "Tribal Rage" remix utilises the original hook, adds an interesting array of percussion, then takes the listener on a mind-melting journey full of twists and turns. Gary Beck (still on a roll after his massive "Consumed" on Minus) also takes hold of the remix reigns and delivers a deep and hypnotic workout that has already been included on Christian Smith's forthcoming Renaissance compilation he liked it so much.
