Legacy tracks are a wonderful thing. Often instinctual, frequently serendipitous in their creation. In those early days, you poured heart and soul into the sound — blood, sweat and tears spent chasing that elusive planetary alignment. That magical, mercurial blend of melody, beats and X-factor juice that lifts good components into a great piece of music — and, eventually, something special. A track that moves from the hands of its original maker (well, duo), into the deeply personal associations, memories and moments that people bring to that audio. So, you go about your daily production grind. Youve made something pretty good — even if you had to make it twice, thanks to losing the original after a quick run for a prawn burrito on Portobello Road. Then a pretty major DJ in your scene picks it up, includes it on one of the most iconic mix albums of all time, and proceeds to hammer it for months. Soon enough, the tracks out there. Balloons are released. Poppers pop. The plaudits and sync deals roll in. Before you know it, everyone you know knows you because of that slice of audio heaven - and your life is never quite the same again. Imagine youre Cass & Slide. And this happened to you - with a track called Perception. The DJ was Sasha. Then others jumped on board. Before long, your track was one of the most talked-about dance records of its time - topping classic dance wishlists during an era when Progressive House / Trance reigned supreme, and you were right in the thick of it. With all this rich history and real legacy in play, its no small thing to live up to when, 25 years later, the track is reissued - featuring both original versions, newly remastered, and two brand-new mixes by one half of the original duo, Cass. The audio arm of Casss creative agency (OurSecretLab) is OurSecretLab_SOUNDS — and hes proud to announce the 25th anniversary edition of Perception. Two new remixes from Cass himself - the Cass 4by4 Remix and Cass is Broken Remix - bring fresh energy direct from one of the original minds behind this stone-cold classic. They sit confidently (and rather politely) alongside remastered versions of the original vinyl gems: Perception and 3tyrants@thebonaparte. Heads down. Butts shaken. And, when safe to do so, hands held high. Lets get into it — all over again.
