Review: While there has been much debate around Regal's claim that techno should be treated as a business, "Fenix" harks back to a wilder time in electronic music's past. Combining spacey trance riffs and a surging rave bass over pummelling beats, it does a fine job at capturing the raw energy of the early 90s. Amelie Lens manages to refine and streamline Regal's track on her remix, while the Belgian DJ's own "Render" is a rolling, tribal affair, punctuated at occasional shrieks. Rounding off the release is Regal in remix mode, turning "Render" into a menacing, rave-fuelled banger - the opposite of soulless techno.
