1. Umek - Gatex 2010 (Original Mix)
Press Release
Gatex is a matchless recording, a proper piece of the new Millennium. When it first came out on Potential as part of The X EP back in 2001, it immediately crossed over the whole EDM specter. And it became even bigger after the re-release on Tiesto’s Magik Muzik the year after. It was a favorite of techno, trance and house deejays and one of the rare outstanding records that didn’t ever get successfully copied, as it is a real freak of nature. Namely, Umek’s studio at that time was very basic and he couldn’t sync in all the elements that he wanted in this tune, so he released unfinished record. Thus it was a real surprise how big it became without the essential of every big EDM tune – the bass drum. Almost a full decade later Umek returned to the Gatex blueprints, this time equipped with proper studio technology and finally completed his masterpiece in the spirit of modern times. Or to put it in the words of his friend Carl Cox: "When the original version came out – it was amazing. And still is amazing. And it should never be touched. But Umek has reworked it. And the new version is fantastic. So when I’ve heard it again I just loved it. I kind of missed it when it went away and he’s brought Gatex back into the 21st century with a fantastic mix."
