Review:
Do these modern versions of classic Percy X material suggest that contemporary techno has run out of ideas or does it cast the remixers in a favourable light? Dutchman Joris Voorn's version of "X-Trak 1" is hyperactive by nature, starting off with dubby chords and a vocal intoning 'activate', but then veering into the kind of epic prog house hooks that were de rigeur among some of Percy X's Soma colleagues during the early 90s. Regis's take on "X-Trak 2" meanwhile is more structured: featuring a wall of epic chords and jittery percussion, it eventually lapses into a mighty dance floor kick, anchored by a buzz saw bass. Based on these remixes, the answer to the question is most definitely the latter.
