friend of mine turned me onto the original version of "access denied" as it was driving epic trance and some wild siren-like synths working with it, probably to play on the theme to the title. as with a lot of tracks i liked it a bit but fell into the back of my mind and when i revisited this record a few years laters things had changed. this time i was listening with fresh ears but also having a slight look at the track in a sense of "will this fit with what i play?".
it had a good groove and was driving and i liked those sensor type sounds in the build but i couldn't look past it's structure and the big breakdowns. i don't remember if i had started cutting up tracks but i know from listening to the original version now that it wouldn't be an easy fix. never the less i didn't care about it when i heard dj astrid walter's alternative version on the record. the deep mix strips it down to the groove and restructures the track to have just one effective drop.
after stripping of the conventional modern epic trance percussion that was on the original you hear the drums rattle much heavier. those sensor type sounds are also much more audible and the origin of them might be dälek or chewbacca but either way they are awesome. bottom line is that this that sort of driving heads down not-quite-techno but not-quite-trance that i like and it's perfect at peaking points.
