The Original mix of ‘Blackrays’ kicks things off, taking the listener on an emotional and sophisticated Tech House journey encompassing; lush suspense chords, arpeggiated synth melodies, intriguing percussive elements and an outstanding vocal performance from Hendrik Burkhard.

Kiko & Citizen Kain‘s excellent rework follows, utilizing key elements from the Original recording but adding a dominant chuggy bass hook, ‘live’ sounding drums and an abundance of powerful sound effects into the mix.

Last but not least, Germany’s Peter Pardeike offers up and an absolutely stellar re-rub to conclude the package. Taking ‘Blackrays’ into a new direction by adding his own deep and melodic touches to the record such as; a stunning robotic vocal, intriguing synth work and a dramatic breakdown.
