Recently I was looking through some remixes of Wamdue Project's 90s era hit "King of my Castle". This track presents us with a nice mix of hard techno beats, cybernetic melodies and a hypnotic vocal. It's a true product of 90s cyberpunk and I am not just saying this because of the video clip uses scenes from the seminal cyberpunk epic of the 90s: Ghost in the Shell.
While some of the remixes were quite decent, I encountered quite a few shitty remixes of this track. One particular remix stood out from the rest in it's lack of originality and boring production values: the Armin van Buuren remix. I had to press pause half-way through the track. It's that horrible. Armin perverted "King of My Castle" into a completely generic trance anthem that lacks any originality. You can hear that he made no effort to create something new. The best way to find out how horrible this track is by pressing play:
After listening to this horrendous piece of garbage, you'll probably need something to soothe your nerves. Luckily, I've also discovered another remix of "King of My Castle" by Bini and Martini. This remix is reinterpretation of the original done in a nu-disco (the non-pretentious type)/90s soulful house style. The vocal is a lot more soothing and the whole song is much more melodic and groovy. If the original was more suitable for dark techno club, then this remix is more suitable for shaking your ass with a cute girl at a cool lounge bar.
