The Prototypes 'Pale Blue Dot (Calyx & Teebee remix)' (Viper)
Could this be the last hurrah for the Protos on Viper before they relaunch on their own label? Either way, Viper is making hay: a deluxe seven-track remix pack of the massive ‘City Of Gold’ LP is fronted by this monster groove, from current hot tickets Calyx & Teebee. Spine-shivering trance synth stabs herald a muscular, more boisterous take on the Protos’ loping big-room anthem from 2015. The snares and bass are roughed up, bulletting along in trademark Ram style, and it’s arguably a superior dancefloor weapon to the original. Still right in the eye of the storm of their own recent ‘1X1’ LP, C&T are firing on multiple fronts.
8/10
