Pasion (Alex Kassian Mixes)

For the first EP on his new label, Planet Strangelove, Job Jobse brings new life to an overlooked Balearic house gem: 'Pasion,' an early '90s deep cut by the Leeds artist Pianoman, inspired by Tangerine Dream's 'Love On A Real Train,' aka the most breathtaking synth arp of all time. Alex Kassian, whose sprawling take on Manuel Gottschings's 'E2-E4' already showed his fine touch for the kosmische vibe Tangerine Dream embodied, delivers a 'Dance Mix' and a 'Dream Mix,' one packing a club-ready beat, the other drifting weightlessly. London duo The Trip, of the label and party Tesselate, deliver a remix as breezy as it is thumping, all wailing divas, sunkissed pads and shimmering pianos. As for Pianoman's 'Analysis' remix, it's a dazzling artifact of the Balearic era at it's peak, touched by the ineffable essence of it's time but sounding just as fresh as it's modern reinterpretations.Tracklisting:A1.
