The track was originally released in 1997 by the dutch progressive trance duo Three Drives (Three Drives on A Vinyl) on Massive Drive Recordings. The song has been considered a reference to a lot of trance productions, that were released following “Greece 2000” in the last 90’s and early 2000’s. The Original track features your classic kick-drum, trancey leads, a bassy beat and a progressive build-up. Olivier Weiter preserves some of the tracks authentic trance chords while adding more of a tech-house vibe with a slowed down tempo and added synths and hi-hats. The bass and kick have a more dominating presence in the remix, than the original. Weiter also plays with a trumpet sounding chord in the remix which adds interesting dimension and atmosphere to the track.
