  We are back with our first record of the year – a remix of a obscure psychedelic proto-trance cut from ’93, remastered, reissued and remixed for the future by Roza Terenzi and Alex Kassian.
  
  ‘State Of Mind’ was first released on Rhythm Design in 1993, then remixed in ’94 by Justin Drake and Quinn Whalley, AKA Slack, who released their first 12” on Andrew Weatherall’s Sabres of Paradise label and years later would go on to found seminal dance music acts Peace Division & Paranoid London.
  
  But not before leaving a trail of fire 12”s and remixes behind them, which they found time to do between running around London, DJing, throwing parties and pulling allnighters in the studio. This, in our view, is the key to it all - equal parts tribal, trance and techno, built around a pulverising kick drum, with synths direct from outer space, incomprehensible computerised vocals seemingly delivered through vocoder, rewinds, and breakdowns galore; it sounds like a transmission from an alien race, relentless and insane.
  
  Roza Terenzi brings typical A-game to her mix, taking down the tempo but amping up the weird, loosely following the original’s structure of build ups and strip downs while lacing its tribal/extra-terrestrial vibes with additional jungle sounds and atmospheric pads, for what feels like a morning stroll through a psychedelic rainforest.
  
  Alex Kassian takes no prisoners with his extended update/workout complete with booming vocal samples, planet-destroying bass and layers of pin- sharp, slamming percussion that smartly echoes the original and retools it for ‘21.
  
  The vinyl comes in a full sleeve with special artwork, inlay with notes from Justin Drake & an exclusive download code.
  
  Strictly limited, vinyl only, no repress!
