Some of the hippest re-mixers have had their say on THE SHAPES REMIXES.
The opener FAITHLESS is presented in two radically different versions. The mega-hip Nuremburg remix-duo THE STRIKE BOYS presents the ultimate techno-house club smash-hit that is already being played at numerous venues internationally. Indian DJ-star GUHYA also picked FAITHLESS for his remix. Some of the finest House around!
As the idea for a Wolfgang Haffner remix album was born, it quickly became apparent, that Berliner SEBASTIAN STUDNITZKY would be part of it. He has been playing trumpet and keyboards in Wolfgang's band for the last two years and as a sound designer, he is the real thing. His version of SHAPES creates seven minutes of seductive and palpable tension.
Spanish re-mixer LOBO PASILLO's chill-house mix creates a completely new feel for SPACE CALZONE.
Munich's BOBBY PLEASURE brings his typical flow to NEW LIFE. A true masterpiece.
Last but not least, Stockholm-resident MAGNUM COLTRANE PRICE: for years he has been playing, singing and remixing for many greats in the music business. The unusual MCP-vocals give his remix of DESIRE a unique quality.
THE SHAPES REMIXES is already widely regarded as one of the club LPs of the year!
