Brat pack crossover stars Charlie XCX loved Altern 8's rave generation anthem "Frequency" so much they not only sampled it for the remix of their smash "365" but started their live shows with the remix.
The resulting renewed interest in "Frequency" has led to four 2025 remixes of the gem which was originally released as a 10,001 numbered limited edition in 1991. That sold out instantly and is now acclaimed as one of the rave scene’s most enduring classics.
Altern 8’s Mark Archer links up with long time collaborator Shadow Child for the A1: M.A.S.C Extended Remix which delves into the tougher strata of house. A2 comes from Tenerife’s DJ Jonay who delivers a stunning old skool influenced breakbeat mix. A3 is the Aires remix. This was done especially for Altern 8’s appearance at Glastonbury and various other summer festivals where IT WENT OFF! A4 Kin’s 'Back To 91' remix is full on drum & bass.
Label artwork is a tribute to Charlie XCX graphics - the samplers got sampled and repaid the compliment. Limited edition vinyl.
