I agree with the others. The 808 Bonus Mix is the one. I some of the DJs on Fantasy FM and Dance FM used to randomly dub this and similar tracks which sounded like it ''Techno Garage'', can you believe it? Haha! I suppose it is tough enough to crossover into a Techno set and played within those types of tracks, which ittedly it was.
Exaggerating a point to prove a point. The same London pirate DJs used to frequently lump all the harder Belgian, Dutch, German, Italian Techno stuff which was pretty popular in the underground UK scene throughout 1989-1991 under the all encoming somewhat confusing, very generic and inaccurate 'Euro' banner haha! A curious lot our UK DJs were back then. Anyway, I digress ...
Back on-topic. I think the main mixes should also be considered in a long set as build-ups. Not suited for peak time in my opinion though. The Raw and 808 Bonus Mix drop harder. It reminds me a bit of Robin Wants Revenge - Well Frankly My Son due to its raw simplicity. But it can nonetheless rock a dancefloor. I played it at my mate's party in Walthamstow and blew his setup's speakers once due to the overdriven bass on the bass kick drum. I didn't bother EQing it properly or turning down the bass or the volume for that matter. Wanted to test out the speakers and the amp. His speakers weren't all that nor was the mixer. It's strange as the 808 Bonus Mix was played more often back then, yet the other mixes are played more often in classic DJ sets now. Even though the former sounds more timeless. People just seem to want to be stuck on this perpetual, rehashed disco sampled house influenced edit thing over and over again which has been mainstream in the clubs for at least two decades. Anyway, each to their own and all that.
P.S. I'm guessing the main filtered, fuzzy sounding synth stab pattern on all the above tracks influenced, borrowed, incorporated and developed further by the outfit Psychotropic's most recognisable and signature sounds though. -
'808 Bonus Mix' is the fiercest version, it should have been the main A1 track.
Short but sleek, perfect for the fast mixers out there! I dancing to it at Panorama Bar—Berlin a few times.
