11.HELSKANKI (V.I.M.BREAKS, RUNE RECORDINGS, VERTIKAL RECORDS)
Original Mix -
Snare hits hard, great groove with bass. Good build progression from start.
Excellent melody in break. Tune really gets going after breakdown.
Zipmix -
Great edits in this one i noticed all over the track, drum edits especially.
Not a big fan of the vocals personally, but from a technical perspective they work well in the tune. Good variation in the bass too. I like it. (apart from the vocals, but again this is a very personal taste)
Macho -
Drums are lacking for me.
Good chopped FX.
Not much departure from the original out of the two i like Andys a lot more.
Leuce Rhythms -
Good drums. Bass is nice too. cool, bass gets even better after drop. This one is the best for me.
Thanks for the promo.
12.GHETTFACE (RIDICULOUD RECORDS)
The best track for me is the Leuce Rhythms track, but the Zipmix track was quite an interesting take as well.
Thanks for sending!
13.FLETRIC (DIGITAL SENSATION UK, FLEXTONE RECORDS)
Thanks mate, this is another Andy Faze psybreaks bomb. I love he's production so far and
this one is no exception. All the remixes are good aswell but original is mostly my taste and
will be spinning for sure !
Thanks, Fletric

14.DR.FISH (V.I.M.RECORDS, AVON CALLING RADIO SHOW)
Hi Greg thanks for the promo. Excellent stuff from VIM once again. Liking the Original and Leuce Rythms Remix, but my favourite is the Macho remix. A real peak time banger! Will be giving this one full support on the Avon Calling radio show and at future shows.

16.KICKFLIP (DEAD FAMOUS RECORDS, BROKEN ROBOT RECORDS, EN:VISION RECORDS)
Wasn't going for this one much I'm afraid, bit too trancey! Zipmix
remix was interesting, but sounded like a completely different track.
Cheers anyway,
Bob
17.T.R.O. (FURIOSO RECORDS, DIGITAL SENSATION UK, V.I.M.BREAKS)
Zipmix did a great job here, dark rave wickedness with hypnotic stabs and cool vocal bits.
18.SCAPO (DIRTY DROP RECORDS, V.I.M.BREAKS)
"original mix for me! a sweet psychedelic trip into a breaks groove, sounds as a future movie soundtrack"
19.STEVE MACCABE (R3TOX RECORDS, V.I.M.BREAKS)
Hi mate, thanks for the Andy Faze package
Quite like the Zipmix Remix, a completely different take on the original, got a very early 'Orbital' sound to it aswell. Have been impressed with Zipmix's stuff lately. probably the pick of the package for me, just because its different.
Thanks
Steve

23.QUEXTAL (NSB RADIO, V.I.M.BREAKS)
Hi again Greg
All four mixes are pretty strong here, but I selected the original, Leuce Rhythms and Zipmix as giving three very different but about equally good interpretations (not to say Macho's was bad by any means, nice synth lines in there, but it didn't quite get me going). My pick
of the lot is Zipmix's, just for its quirkiness. It's not *way* out there, but it's unusual while still being accessible. When a tune like this comes along that seems to plough its own furrow to some extent, it can help nudge the rest of the mix into interesting new directions,
which is something I'm always looking to do with the radio shows, and it certainly played a part (along with "After Darkness" and a couple of others) in shaping last Saturday's show into a more-than-usually adventurous and experimental one - thanks Zipmix
Cheers
Ben
