The Mission Remission by DJ Tomcraft: A Trip Back to the Beat
Alright, let’s talk about The Mission Remission—a killer slice of electronic goodness dropped back in 2010 by DJ Tomcraft. If you’re into Trance, Tech House, or Tribal vibes, this one's gonna hit different for sure. It’s raw, it’s punchy, and man, does it take you on a ride.
First off, shoutout to Kosmo Records for putting this gem out there. And props to Enrico Boettcher for the slick photography and Factor Product for that eye-catching artwork. You can tell they weren’t just phoning it in; everything about this release feels intentional. But let’s get into the meat of it—the tracks.
I gotta single out “The Mission (Supernoise Remission)” because holy crap, this one sticks with you. The beat builds up slow at first, teasing like, "Hey, where ya goin'?" Then BAM—it drops, and suddenly your heart's racing. It’s got this techy edge but still keeps that trancey soul alive. Like, I remember hearing it late at night when no one else was around, and it felt... personal? Weird to say, but yeah. Feels like the kind of track that doesn’t care if you’re dancing alone in your room or losing yourself on a packed dancefloor. Either way, it works.
Then there’s “The Mission (Original Classic Club Mix)”, which is basically the OG version flexing its muscles. This one leans harder into tribal house territory, all percussive beats and hypnotic rhythms. There’s something primal about it, like it taps into a part of your brain you didn’t know existed. By the time the synths kick in halfway through, you’re not just listening anymore—you’re feeling it. Honestly, this mix reminds me of those nights where time kinda disappears, y’know? Where hours pass without you even realizing it ‘cause the music’s doing its thing so damn well.
What gets me is how both tracks have their own personality while still staying connected. It’s like they’re siblings—different styles, same vibe. And credit goes to Eniac and DJ Tomcraft for pulling that off. They didn’t just slap this together; you can hear the effort in every layer, every tweak.
So yeah, The Mission Remission isn’t perfect, but who cares? It’s real. Sometimes albums try too hard to be polished, but this one lets loose and lets the music speak for itself. Oh, fun fact: apparently Eniac co-wrote some of these tracks. Ever heard of him? Me neither, but dude clearly knows his stuff.
Anyway, wrapping this up—I keep thinking about how music from over a decade ago can still feel fresh today. Maybe that’s what makes great electronic music timeless. Or maybe I’m just nostalgic. Either way, give The Mission Remission a spin. Who knows? It might remind you of something you didn’t realize you missed.
