found the single to speedy j's "ni go snix" in one in one of stockholms second-hand recordstores a while back along with and bought it. i didn't know it or but i found it un-plausible that a cdsingle with names such as speedy j, mike paradinas (µ-ziq) & stefan robbers would suck or anything. i did have a hunch that it wasn't the usual type techno that i associated speedy j with.
this was from the public energy era where speedy j made weirder techno and i believe some would call it "idm". but even me as a notorious pidgeonholer don't really go into that mess since i don't even know what is "idm" and what isn't "idm" and to be honest, i don't really care.
the single to "ni go snix" contained four versions of that and two versions of hayfever, unlike the latter the former was not on the "public energy #1" album. however the track of choice on the single was the rework by stefan robbers called the "helical scan mix".
robbers kicked up the tempo from the original and did this nice contrasting piece with fast-paced metallic drums and airy melodics. it's the latter thing which attracted to me it because i was skimming through the single. when i got to the break of the song i heard this lovely long sweeping pad on top of these crunchy drums and i loved it.
this part was taken from speedy j's original but i think he applied it very well and it really gives the track a nice edge. it also aids well from the pretense when robbers built up a dark bass and aggressive in the first half leading to it's going to be an evil breakcore tune. this track is quite a gem and i like listening to it a lot.
