Techno King, Phil Kieran, is back once again this time he is concentrating on his debut Vinyl release on Phil Kieran Recording, with his vinyl re-release of his skyhook project.
His high productivity led him to look forward to the project he has been wanting to put to bed for a number of years - Skyhook. Skyhook gained support form the Techno Elite with Sven Vath & Richie Hawtin using it as a weapon of choice for a number of years other less likely supporters included Deadmau5 who has been using skyhook in his sets for years.
Originally no remixes of the chart smasher were made despite huge interest and requests from various people to rework the track, with the lack of a label to distribute them being cited as the main reason.
But finally, this demon was put to bed and the gauntlet was picked up by Jesper Dalhback & Adam Beyer, Ricardo Tobar, Scuba & SCB and Green Velvet.
Kieran says 'When you approach something like this you ask people to get involved and hope they do too, with this one I was amazed that everyone I wanted signed up, which made this very easy'.
These monster remixes of Skyhook rocket propelled the launch of Phil Kieran Recordings and also finally fulfilled the appetite of those who had been demanding its re-release for over three years.
Phil is one of the true sonic and beat geniuses out there today. I approached the remix the old school way...staying true to the original and beefing it up to make it a club banger
Green Velvet
