With Hardcore still prominent in the  clubs around the world, The Touch features rollercoaster bass swoops against  energetic breaks flowing around the main sung vocal \"c'mon and touch me\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn early sign of the precision arrangements that became synonymous of Ram's early  sound that followed over for many years. Whilst going through the remaining  samples in the sampler that had not been used on the A side, the pair suddenly went  on a tangent with one of the drum breaks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExperimenting with the new time stretch function in the Akai sampler, they soon had  a shuffle groove layered and moving.

As part of Ram Records’ 30th anniversary, we have put together a series of new remixes and VIP’s of some of the labels biggest releases from the early 90’s. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* The Touch (Ant Miles Remix) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing one half of Origin Unknown alongside Andy C, Ant Miles located the original floppy Akai sample disks from way back in 1993 and was able to load them up into his Akai sampler. He went on a mission to not only recreate the sound and vibe of the original A side of RAMM004, but to then go on to enhance and tweak all the elements, including various elements from the 'Part 2 mix' that came out later in 1993.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* The Touch (Ruff and Ruffer Remix) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo DJs also from Hornchurch in Essex, have already lined up their debut 12\" which will be released later this year on Out Of Romford Records. From the strength of this forthcoming Hardcore tear out 12\" they were invited to submit a remix of 'The Touch'. Being long-time fans of the Ram and Liftin Spirit labels, they took the samples and went in with a passion to create a twisted up and slammin’ remix which so far has blown everyone away with its energy and overall technique. These two brothers are ones to watch out for in 2024. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Valley of the Shadows (New Decade Remix) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew Decade (Out Of Romford Records) follow up their run of outstanding remixes; 'Cold Fresh Air' and 'The Big Bang' this time visiting the anthemic 'Valley of the Shadows' a.k.a. Long Dark Tunnel. Encapturing the sound and vibe of the 1993 original, New Decade have taken it further, enhancing and twisting the hypnotic atmospheres, yet keeping the original rolling feel of the drums and basslines whilst also including the occasional nod to the remixes that appeared throughout the 1990’s. The initial reception of this remix has been exceptional and has completely stunned and transfixed the masses, being commented on by many as perhaps the best of the four remixes that have landed over its 31 years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Valley of the Shadows (Awake '96 Mix) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis was the second remix to appear three years after the original in 1996 and has been carefully remastered with today’s technology for this final Ram Reloaded 2024 12\" release. Andy C \u0026amp; Ant Miles took the original and slightly sped up the tune utilising subtle tweaks and enhancements with the added vocal 'Awake in Another Dimension'. This mix featured prominently on Kiss FM and Radio 1 back in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liftin Spirit Records \/ Ram Records","offers":[{"title":"Orange 12\"","offer_id":50999237083467,"sku":"2182517","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/RAMM004REP2_9eb4c379_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1734813716"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/origin-unknown.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
