jb³ – Forklift (The Remixes)

This realese is pure classic! Music video of track Forklift was on MTV. that because in video you can see Joey how he is painting a graffiti. And of course Forklift is a banger!!!

How this release has no comments is very surprising to me this release is an absolute techno classic!

The original and Damons mix are in their own right great but the Luke Slater mix is pure fire!

Played by almost every touring techno DJ from 1996 this record is timeless.

The Luke Slater mix was about the biggest thing going in the middle of 1997, unhinged.

Amazing too ..... same idee tracks ?! Maybee more

Luke Slaters remix is absolute filth. Reminds me of how dangerous Techno could be,

I have to agree with cthulu 303.The Luke Slater mix is the best remix of any track,ever,in my opinion.I hearing it for the first time during a Joey Beltram set at the legendary Atomic Jam in Birmingham in 1997 and i had never heard anything like it before.The place went absolutely crazy.One of my favourite techno moments ever.It still sounds so good today.Absolute perfectionism.Cheers.😀

Track "Forklift (Luke Slater's Filtered Remix)" is an impressive release which burn the dancefloor for sure! Several filter variations chirurgically realized by M. Slater, especially around the 1/3 of the track duration, contributes to make this record a huge and sure value.

Techno Bomb!

Issued around the same time as Jeff Mills's More Drama, the Filtered Remix has a monotonous, looped synth layer, not too distant to that of The Fuzz (Loophole Mix), which confused me a little, the first times, when neither of those tracks was very familiar yet. Later on in the track, as the filter is operating in full effect, the resulting sound is somehow similar to the heavily processed Acid line of Acid Junkies' Two Minds In Motion. In early 1997, before finding out what the track was, those comparisons lead me to refer to it as the Jeff Junkies, or the Acid Mills track. Then, of course, it became difficult to not know what it was, seeing the huge hit status it reached, but it was only years later that I realised the remix was named after another Slater track.

Ten years later, the original (already an oldie in 1997) sounds a bit dull, Wild's mix has been completely forgotten, but Slater's is still immediatley recognisable and terribly efficient, skilfully combining stripped-down ages, tension build-ups and eruptions of sound.
Surely, it qualifies as a very serious contender for the best remix ever crown.
