Even if the name doesn&#8217;t ring a bell, the sounds no doubt will: a 93-94 amen smasher with dub fx, deep atmospherics, and the classic Quest &#8220;Mind Games&#8221; 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&#8217;t say it tops the original(s), but that&#8217;s due to the strength of those originals and not any fault of the remix! It&#8217;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.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Various-Deep-In-The-Jungle\/release\/12609\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogtotheoldskool.com\/blog\/images\/deep_in_the_jungle.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSystem X &#8211; Mindgames (Cool Hand Flex Remix)<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-5905-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/blog\/audio\/System%20X%20-%20Mindgames%20(Cool%20Hand%20Flex%20Remix).mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/System%20X%20-%20Mindgames%20(Cool%20Hand%20Flex%20Remix).mp3\">\/blog\/audio\/System%20X%20-%20Mindgames%20(Cool%20Hand%20Flex%20Remix).mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a nice somewhat hard to find tune courtesy of the Tim Reaper. &#8220;Mind Games&#8221; is probably one of Photek&#8217;s more well recognizable early tunes, done under his System X alias.
