“1998 was the year I started to play music. On Christmas Day my parents gifted me a bass guitar and that changed my whole life.Fast forward to 2005 when I started to produce Electronic Music, I was really into Psytrance and Trance music. I discovered BinaryFinary’s‘1998’ and it became an instant classic and a favorite. I always dreamt of remixing the original track as ithasinfluenced me so much throughout the years.

 

When I got the chance to put my hands on it, I had to make something special since I had been mentally rehearsing this moment for over a decade. It took me a few months to come up with the arrangement idea, but once I had it clear, I knew what to do. This remix is just a confirmation that dreams do come true.” –Victor Ruiz.
