Planet Strangelove Trance (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

For the first EP on his new label, Planet Strangelove, Job Jobse brings new life to an overlooked balearic house gem: Pasion, an early 90s deep cut by the Leeds artist Pianoman, inspired by Tangerine Dreams Love On A Real Train, aka the most breathtaking synth arp of all time. Alex Kassian, whose sprawling take on Manuel Göttschingss E2-E4 already showed his fine touch for the kosmische vibe Tangerine Dream embodied, delivers a Dance Mix and a Dream Mix, one packing a club-ready beat, the other drifting weightlessly. London duo The Trip, of the label and party Tesselate, deliver a remix as breezy as it is thumping, all wailing divas, sunkissed pads and shimmering pianos. As for Pianomans Analysis remix, its a dazzling artifact of the balearic era at its peak, touched by the ineffable essence of its time but sounding just as fresh as its modern reinterpretations.
