It's easy to bill a release as "one of the most appealing records being played on the systems of DC10 and Cocoon this summer" as this tracks press release does. Lying alongside Luciano's Defected mega-mixes and the gratuitous repetition of Sis, Seth Troxler's new Rebel release would have been most appealing. Whether or not anyone remembers it from either terrace is a different story of course, but who are we to split hairs.

Certainly Adam Marshall's synthtastic Sedition treatment would have been most welcome. Melodic chords take over the track with flowing snatches of harmony and a severely edited vocal sample dropped throughout the remix, whilst a simple groovy thread of bass drives the pace. It's definitely the strongest amongst this package. Troxler's original never quite hits the mark, somehow falling just short of being what it could have been - a stunning piece of laid back electronica. The vocal layering is striking and immediately distinctive, but at odds with the slightly too harsh staccato beats lying underneath. Beautiful though they are, the recognisable sampling is almost off-putting and slightly retro, and its not until the last sixty seconds that the track finally slips into a brief burst of what it could have been.

Fortunately there's a lease of life injected by Swede Par Grindvik, who delivers a more rounded and current version. The baseline has a real Garage flavour, which I suspect we're going to hear a lot more of if the aforementioned terraces were any indication over the past 3 months. There's some nice fooling about with the breakdowns - again with some serious Garage sampling chucked in, and the vocal still features pretty heavily which is nice. After almost ending at 8 minutes through, the 'Here We Go' vocal throws the track right back out there, which will confuse at least a few on first listening, but will just induce flashbacks fans of C.J. Bolland out there.

If anything this summer in Ibiza was a season of re-releases, remixes, early 90's house and speed garage being dredged up, fiddled with and thrown out there, so whether or not you're in with the re-emergence of these genres, it's certainly nice to hear a fresh take on it, rather than a rehash of an oldie.

As an overall release though, either remix is sure to appeal, its just a shame the original doesn't quite do it for me. I do guarantee that Troxler has got more than this up his sleeve and is still worth looking out for in the future.
