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 'Part2 mix' that came out later in'93.The Touch (Ruff and Ruffer Remix)Two 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 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.Valley of the Shadows (New Decade Remix)New Decade from 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 with the drums and basslines whilst also including the occasional nod to the remixes that appeared throughout the 1990s. The initial reception of this remix so far 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 it's 31 years.Valley of the Shadows (Awake '96 Mix)This was the second remix to appear three years after the original in 1996 and has been carefully remastered with todays technology for this final Ram Reloaded 2024 12" release. Andy C& 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#Ram Records Reloaded*JUNGLEHARDCORECLASSICS#GLASTONBURY
