‘Rapture’ first time around hit Number 2 on the UK and USA Dance charts and No 40 on the USA Billboard, the original spawned incredible mixes from music leaders Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Deep Dish and Creamer & K, and has been played ever since. Now iiO is back with ‘Rapture Reconstruction: Platinum Edition’, and spawning dozens of remixes and unstoppable international radio play, iiO’s mighty ‘Rapture’ has carved itself a niche as one of the world’s biggest dance hits, and now has classic anthem status. This ‘Rapture Reconstruction: Platinum Edition’ brings together a new mix package championing the sounds of the fast rising producers Starkillers, and Hardware& Orue. Starkillers is a new DJ/producer who’s current single has just got picked up by Ministry and two years ago caused a big stir with the club hit ‘Diskoteka’. Hardware & Orue hit the spot on a more twisted trancey and electronic tip, and again the Dub is the killer cut. With Friscia & Lamboy its also all about the Dub – before Lamatta’s Harmony Remix’s Vocoder style rework strips it down. Rounding off the new set is a lush Made 2 Chill Remix, and close your eyes and you’re at a summer festival. Essential main room-peak-time entertianment!
