- Five years ago, Geck-o's 'Tripper' marked the start of The Funky Cat's label, as our very first release. It was also the first single from his Alien Sound System album, and got its own amazing video production, lovingly crowdfunded by many of you who are reading this now. A fantastic project, and an absolute landmark for both Geck-o and The Funky Cat.
- Now, for our 100th label release, we're giving you the chance to remix this classic. Download the remix pack below, and go wild! Surprise us with any genre or non-genre you can throw at us, whether it's relaxing ambient, rolling techno, banging hardstyle or vegetarian progressive grindcore. The only limit is your own imagination.
- Scroll down for a FAQ with all info, terms and conditions you'll need to know about. Happy remixing, and we're very curious what you'll come up with.
- Love,
The Funky Cat - Geck-o: "This track is very dear to me. It stands for the transition from my time with the late QULT movement into founding my own platform and community with The Funky Cat. You clearly hear that explosive and raw energy that was so characteristic for my sound at the time, with glimpses of what was to come in the deeper layers of the track. To reminisce the QULT and celebrate The Funky Cat, our label, our parties, the video project, the crowdfunding, all those years of community and sharing our love for the music, I present the Tripper Remix Contest. I'm giving you the chance to give your own unique twist to one of my big classics, and feature on CATID100 - the 100th release on The Funky Cat's label." DOWNLOAD TRIPPER REMIX PACK
