this was a version i heard in a mix and i didn't catch that was a remix of planet rock until the second or third listen. this was because i didn't hear the ending where it's the only place where dave tipper plays the infamous melody from "trans europa express". the rest is just punchy nuskool breaks, some vocal samples, glitchy sounds and bass. the latter is actually what you hear the most of and is what you will fall in love with.
it isn't a bassline like the remix of leftfield's "dusted" or dave tippers own "twister", it's just really heavy sub bass. you would think that is a bad thing since the whole having the bassline as the hook requires it being a catchy one, but it punches through really boldly. but when did i really grasp that it was a "planet rock" remix and not just something that sampled "planet rock"?
on the fourth listen as it was then i noticed that the subby bass hits actually plays in the portamento of the "trans europa express" melody. i know this version isn't for everyone and as "planet rock" is such a classic entity within dance music but i think it was bold to take it down a route that no one had done before. well recommended
