Review: breathing new life into "Baille funk and other unclassifiable Brazilian rhythms", it makes perfect sense that he'd want to showcase some of his best work on one must-have collection. Haaksman's genius has always been his ability to find the middle ground between the needs of European dancefloors and his South American source material. This approach is at the heart of Remixes 2008-2017, though ironically some of the most enjoyable rubs here - particularly the brilliant revisions of Makina Del Karibe and Jalla Banda - are less concerned with out and out dancefloor devastation. Haaksman can do heavyweight bangers, though, and there's plenty of full-throttle, bass-heavy tropical house dotted throughout the compilation.
