Arriving on transparent blue vinyl, the fourth installation of the Hardspace series brings six new re-interpretations of Len Faki's favorites via his Hardspace alias. Starting with a true classic, the gem that is Josh Wink's "Sixth Sense" picks up on the original's tight plastic groove and creates some serious low-end rumble. A less obvious choice, Aoki Takamasa's minimalist dub from Japan, gets a complete makeover in the Hardspace edit, using driving percussion to morph the pensive blueprint into an upbeat peaktime slammer. One of the most iconic basslines of the last decade, DJ Yoav B's "Energize" is a standout on its own but paired with the relentless groove of the high-energy Hardspace remix it unlocks new levels of rave potential. Huxley's "Weapon 3" was maybe one of the darkest tunes ever released on the otherwise house-centric catalogue of UK label Aus, which Len Faki already played back when it was first released. The "Hardspace Mix" merges a feeling explosive force with the original's sultry ambiance, catapulting the track back onto today's dancefloors. Colorful, dubby synth stabs are what keeps the momentum on peak time roller "Funktion" by French producer Tuttle, which in its Hardspace version packs even more heat, as Faki employs his signature claps and tunes up the original's enervating siren sound, squeezing out every last drop of energy. Originally released in the '90, Mike Parker's "Shakuhachi Two" is as techno as it gets. Only now sounding even more powerful and dynamic, as the Harspace Mix keeps all of the original goodness while stacking additional propulsive percussion for a sweaty floor workout. Also featuring Ursula Rucker and Chich.
