BZZZZZT. thanks for playing. it is true that i do consider the Exist Dance guys to be my pals, and it is true that my erstwhile techno outfit, The Ultraviolet Catastrophe, has done a remix of an Exist Dance track (which appeared on Twitch vinyl 11 and CD 8). however, to date, none of my material has ever been released on Exist Dance. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I'm sorry, I assumed that Ultraviolet Catastrophe was a band originally on the Exist Dance label, that had been remixed by one of the mixmasters at Twitch. BTW, the track "Trip Harder" on Twitch CD #6 (not sure which vinyl) is great. It goes great if you mix it over the top of almost any other track. Very little chord material, which makes it perfect for those 5 minute long mixes. DJ Hint: If you can time your mix just right so the screaming vocal loop comes in right at the peak of the song you're mixing it on top of, you will have the dancefloor in a frenzy...d

gee, i didn't realize there was so much misinformation out there. well, let's see if i can straighten any of this out. first off, the Twitch Remix Service was started by Mike Wertheim (mw@sybase.com) with business partners Jim Hopkins and Randall Erkelens. The Ultraviolet Catastrophe was a basically unrelated sort of spur-of-the-moment thing that came together one weekend after a busted rave. The participants are Mike, myself and Jeff Taylor. our first recording was "The Trip" which was inspired by a 4-note bassline we put together on an old Sequential Circuits board. we remixed it into "Trip Harder" although there's precious little of the original in there - basically just the first drum loop. we pressed up a few dozen test pressings and gave them to big local DJs and distributors. "Trip Harder" took off, locally, quickly becoming one of the top rave anthem tracks of 1992. we then released 1000 copies on "Twitch Records" (TW-EP-01) which was basically just a bogus thing we came up with. i guess the original plan was to actually put out original 12"s on Twitch as well as the remix service products but nothing ever came of that plan. i suppose this is where all the confusion comes from. oh yeah, we also did a very small run of violet-colored vinyl for that single. big time collectors items now, i hear. Trip Harder was remixed by local weirdoes The Darwin Chamber into Trip Hardcore, which appeared on Twitch vinyl issue #9. The original version of Trip Harder also showed up on Twitch CD #6. We then hooked up with Hardkiss Music and did three new remixes of Trip Harder for their newly-formed label. These came out on 12" as Hardkiss HK 002. We also produced & engineered their next two records, Hawke and God Within, at our studio. Yet Another Remix of Trip Harder came out on FFRR's California Dreamin' compilation CD. That's it.
