Syncrophone revisits Soiree Records International founder Drivetrain's 'Soundtrack' with reworks from DJ Deep and Romain Poncet.

The original version of 'Soundtrack' was released 25 years ago (1993) via Drivetrain's own revered

Soiree Records International imprint he ran out of his hometown of Detroit since 1990, as the

name would suggest the composition embodies a motion picture feel, produced on the leading outboard gear of the time from Roland, Yamaha and Akai and inspired by fellow producers of the time like Laurent Garnier, 808 State and Guy Called Gerald pushing their cinematic sounds into House and Techno. The original mix leads with bumpy drums and resonant acid bleeps driving the cut, whilst emotive strings and elongated bass pads ebb and flow within. DJ Deep's 'Collectors Edit' follows, keeping the core essence of the original whilst drawing the structure out to a more subtly blooming eight minutes. Up next is the DJ Deep & Roman Poncet Remix which twists the original composition into a machine funk workout fuelled by modulating broken rhythms, a heady arpeggio bass line and bubbling pads whilst stirring in the original's hypnotic strings. DJ Deep's 'Dub Beat Edit' then rounds out the package; stripping things back to focus solely on the robust analogue drum groove and choppy acid stabs alone.
