Catharsis Remixes by Sven Väth

As you would expect from Cocoon, the running order is rooted on the dance floor. First up, "Silvi's Dream" is remixed by Ava label head and Cologne innovator Damiano von Erckert into something that explodes like a Balearic sunrise before the legendary Roman Flügel serves up an acidic rework of "What I Used To Play." The always leftfield Robag Wruhme lays down some cranking minimal funk in "The Worm."

After this perfect opening trio comes a hi-octane trip with Jonathan Kaspar's growling interpretation of "We Are" and euphoric trance engulfing UK new schooler Krystal Klear's epic version of "Feiern." The bold and musically brave Benjamin Damage adds a retro 90s vibe to proceedings on "Mystic Voices" before a thrilling peak-time contribution from Detroit hero Robert Hood which sits between two versions of "Nyx" from long-time techno force Luke Slater under his Planetary Assault Systems moniker.

From there, Harald Björk extrapolates "Being In Love" into a hypnotic groove for the early hours, the cultured Innervisions artist Mano Le Tough harnesses the ethno-rhythms and brooding energy of "Catharsis" into a low-slung tribal stomper, and last of all is a second seductive interpretation of "Silvi's Dream" by Florian Hollerith. It is a superb close to another vital project from Sven following his artist album and his ambitious "What I Used to Play" compilation.

This hand-picked list of luminaries doesn't disappoint in fusing their signature sound with Sven's DNA to create a wild, uncompromising companion piece to the still standout original album.
