Hot on the heels of his latest full-length delivery, here comes Oliver Koletzki’s ‘Trip To Sanity Remixed’ – a package of reworks featuring contributions from fellow Stil vor Talent alums Rampue, Fabian Krooss, and Tim Engelhardt + Sean Doron.
Injecting his own exotica-laced musical genotype into Koletzki’s epic club-focused DNA, Rampue takes us on a hybrid hi-NRG yet melancholic jaunt, running the gamut from prog techno landscapes onto purely rapturous piano house on a hypermodern tip. The result is both a straightforward and dreamy immersion into Rampue’s multi-faceted universe, as much as it fleshes out Koletzki’s pop-friendliness with that teleportative 90s punch whose impact doesn’t fade with years.
‘Don’t Ever Wake Me Up’ gets the Krooss treatment and it’s a further compelling electro-acoustic trip for the body and soul that unfolds. Strips of elegant Spanish guitar blazing alongside a languid electro chug and cascading bloops out some pixelated house Eden, there’s Krooss’ trademark strain of balearic house with a bass-forward drive coming at you with full force.
Last but not least, ‘Is It Real (ft. Malou)’ finds Engelhardt and Doron tweaking the circuits to further incendiary effect. Their version mixes a highly volatile EBM lead with Malou’s sensuously haunting vocals, plus an enhanced dose of subs to heave us onto unheard layers of ecstasy. Its steadfast, propulsive thrust throughout the six-minute-shy buildup of the track laced with that finessed sound design prove a durably mesmerizing combo.
You can now listen to the full premiere of Rampue’s remix of ‘My Last Attempt’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
