Track of the Day: Moby - Go (Loco Dice Remix)
Being from the US sometimes we can be a bit behind on some of the trends in Tech-house and Techno although things have gotten better lately with improvements in technology. My realization of this came when I first visited Europe in 2004 and then again in 2009 when I went to Ibiza. I had never heard of this dude before and his name was all over the Island that summer (I was there for about a month), but we hadn't actually crossed paths at a venue he was playing until the end of my trip. That night was at Amnesia and it was a Cocoon night with Sven Vath and Dubfire in the main room and Richie Hawtin and Loco Dice in the terrace. That was my first exposure to Loco Dice and to say I was blown away is an understatement. He and Richie basically went back to back all night long for 8 hrs. Since then I have come to understand that Loco Dice is among the upper echelon of techno and tech house producers and performers. I would say now he is pretty well known here in the US and comes to visit fairly often. When I saw that he had taken on the monumental task of remixing one of my favorite tracks of all time I had to give it a go. He actually did two remixes one that basically removes the strings until the end and takes the listener on a wild tech house journey with a funky tribal groove, dropping in the vocals along with that gorgeous grand piano stab from the original occasionally. I however am a sucker for those strings so I am really happy he made a second edit that includes them in the main body of the song. Check that out below. There is so much more to elaborate on with Loco Dice, too much for just one track and were running short on time today but rest assured we will do a proper feature on Loco Dice in the future.The weekend is upon us and if you havent taken a chance to listen to our latest weekly mix from PZB I strongly recommend you do so. It is some high energy, guaranteed to make you dance, techno. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
