I would like to express my gratitude to the wonderful artists who took part in creating the soundtrack for the first episode of the Captain Hook remix album series. Our selection of artists was meticulous, each choosing to maximize their connection with a specific track. The outcome is a splendid musical mosaic spanning psy-trance, techno, and bass. The artists beautiful and authentic expressions, incorporating elements from the original tracks, contribute to the overall richness. The albums concept revolves around ouroboros, symbolizing the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth; infinity. The series consists of 3 episodes: Past, Present, Future - with each episode featuring 4 original Captain Hook tracks remixed by 3 artists in different genres, 12 tracks per episode. Each episode is pressed on 3 vinyls and each vinyl is a style in itself (psy-trance, techno, bass). Ouroboros - Present marks the second edition of the 3 part album series, with the entire collection spanning across 9 vinyls. The third and final part - Ouroboros Future - lands in early 2025.
