Audion (Jamie Jones remix)
Now this is how you celebrate a birthday
Although 2006 doesn't seem like that long ago, ten years have passed and that means a lot of incredible dance music is celebrating a big birthday this year.
Simian Mobile Disco seduced us all with the sleazy and slamming 'Hustler', Booka Shade hypnotised with the seminal 'In White Rooms' and Dennis Ferrer dropped one of his best tracks to date in the form of 'Son Of Raw'.
It's mad to think these tracks were released a decade ago, considering all of them still do the business on a dancefloor, but there's one song in particular that turns ten this year and the celebrations couldn't be bigger.
Matthew Dear's Audion alias has always channelled a weird and wonderful sound, one that blurs the line between electro and techno by using abrasive tones and alien gurgles. We've taken great joy over the years seeing what this side-project has given birth to and no track is more seminal than 'Mouth To Mouth'.
The 12-minute epic took over clubs worldwide and became an instant classic. Now fans of the cut can collectively jump for joy as 'Mouth To Mouth 10' is set to drop and it's one of the best-looking remix albums we've seen in ages.
Dear has called upon artists like Boys Noize, Dubfire, Dense & Pika, Guy Gerber and Jamie Jones to rework his monster classic and we've got the very first spin of the Jones' remix.
Yes, Hot Creations boss Jamie Jones has completely turned the track on it's head by teasing you with those pulsating riffs and groove-fulled clicks. The build-ups are as beautifully agonising as they are in the original but the drops leave you dumb-founded. You won't see them coming, we certainly didn't.
The incredible list of remixers on the album is testament to just how important the track is and 'Mouth To Mouth 10' is not only a joyous trip down memory lane, it's a fantastic snapshot of the present and the talent that's excelling in 2016.
'Mouth To Mouth 10' is out on April 29 via Spectral Sound, pre-order it here
