System X – Mind Games (Cool Hand Flex Remix)

Here’s a nice somewhat hard to find tune courtesy of the Tim Reaper. “Mind Games” is probably one of Photek’s more well recognizable early tunes, done under his System X alias. Even if the name doesn’t ring a bell, the sounds no doubt will: a 93-94 amen smasher with dub fx, deep atmospherics, and the classic Quest “Mind Games” bit from the end of that tune. This Cool Hand Flex remix seems pretty rare and is limited to a CD only compilation, rather than any vinyl releases. I wouldn’t say it tops the original(s), but that’s due to the strength of those originals and not any fault of the remix! It’s definitely a good tune by itself, featuring one of those trebly 92-94 De Underground/CHF Amens plus some ragga snippets and cold sweat breakbeat. Not sure why it never saw the light of day on a regular vinyl release? Either way, enjoy it here, and good luck tracking down that original CD it was on.

  1. New one on me, cheers Tim! Pretty unenviable task being asked to remix that one. Shame it’s missing the little melody noises from the original, that made that track for me.
