This isn’t the first time ‘Trans Euro Express’ has been remixed, and it won’t be the last. Here it’s given an alternative title, but that’s far from enough to distinguish it alone. The vocal in Gerd Janson’s ‘Dance’ Mix is a repetitive piece of distorted deadpan intonation. It’s one of those vocals which feels such a part of the track that the inclusion of an instrumental seems a bit pointless. So it’s left to plague raver Ricardo Villalobos to rescue the package with a suitably abstract rhythmically loping version. Say what you like about his choice of African party venues, it won’t stop him reconstituting time and space in the cause of the remix.
