Pretty brave of Mr Teej to take on Bowie’s late 60s lunar classic but he does an interesting job planting suitably floaty vocals over a deep, early 90s NY house backdrop. This is the closest the package get to the song as Rekids’ Toby Tobias uses it as a lunch-pad for a ten-minute voyage into swooshing space-house before returning later with a 14-minute dub-house epic which takes Major Tom to the outer limits; ebbing, flowing and pulsing through meteor showers and intergalactic chemical toilets, all underpinned by funked-up bass. Elsewhere, label honchos My Favorite Robot pump up the dream element with Detroit-style swells and druggy ambience before Montreal’s Maher Daniel boosts the bass for a bumpier workout.
