British electronic music producer Si Begg has re-recorded his 2001 classic hit “Welcome To The Discotheque”, which was previously released on the [Feis] label. That 2001 release included seven versions, including the original and six remixes by renowned artists such as Funk D’Void, The Hacker, Lamonde aka Len Faki, Gayle San, Mhonolink and Michael Burkat. Each remix already gave the original track a unique touch by integrating deep bass lines, techno elements and modern funk influences.
The fresh new edition on the German label Harthouse offers a new dimension to Si Begg‘s legendary track and includes four energetic remixes that fuse the cult sound of the original with contemporary beats and powerful dancefloor energy. Each of the four remixes gives the track a different style, offering listeners a unique listening experience.
The “Si Begg Return to the Discotheque Remix” is a tribute to the original and ensures that the nostalgic charm of “Welcome To The Discotheque” is retained while adding modern elements. With a pulsating bassline and driving beats, this version stays true to the original track while still capturing the sound of the present. The energetic structure invites you to surrender to the dance floor and experience the essence of the track in a new, intense form.
In the “Si Begg Total Fusion Remix” version, Si Begg fuses together various electronic genres, bringing a whole new dynamic to the track. The fusion of house, techno and even breakbeat elements creates a distinctive soundscape that sets the track apart from the crowd.This remix particularly highlights the versatility of “Welcome To The Discotheque” and gives the classic a modern twist that appeals to both long-time fans and new listeners. The “Si Begg Hates Social Media Remix” offers a more experimental approach to the track and critically reflects on the effects of the modern digital world. Si Begg takes a satirical and critical look at social media, creating a dense soundscape characterized by distorted sounds and unconventional beat patterns. The sound design surprises and challenges the audience to engage with the track in a new, almost provocative way – a statement against the superficiality and fast pace of today’s digital world.
With “Si Begg Total Immersion Remix”, Si Begg draws the listener into a deeper soundscape. This remix is particularly atmospheric and focuses on hypnotic and dark elements. The structure of the track is designed in such a way that the intensity increases bit by bit, offering an immersive experience in which you lose yourself completely in the music. The deep basslines and subtle melodies invite you to an intense and almost meditative experience, perfect for late hours in the club when the dance floor transforms into a world of its own.
With these four remixes, Si Begg manages to reimagine “Welcome To The Discotheque” for today’s electronic music scene, while also bridging the gap between the past and the present. The combination of nostalgia and fresh modern influences makes this EP a must for fans of electronic music and offers a piece of music history in a new guise. The reissue is available on all known platforms and invites you to experience a legendary track from a completely new perspective. The original version and the six previous remixes are still available on the label [Feis], which, like Harthouse, belongs to the labels of UCM.ONE.
