Description

Introducing the limited purple vinyl repress of Carl Craig’s legendary track "At Les" remixed by Christian Smith—a must-have for electronic music aficionados. This exclusive reissue on Tronic celebrates the timelessness of Craig’s original while showcasing Smith’s masterful reinterpretations, delivered with the artist’s blessing.

Reimagined in both Tronic Treatment and Hypnotica remix forms, Christian Smith infuses the track with his signature energy and power. The Tronic Treatment remix begins with a slow, melodic build that gradually ascends into an epic, peak-time composition, evoking an almost orchestral grandeur. Conversely, the Hypnotica Remix adopts a more hypnotic, loop-driven approach, emphasising immersive layers and trance-like atmospheres—creating a soundscape that’s both expansive and intimate.

Originally crafted in 2010, these remixes revisit Carl Craig’s seminal ambient piece from his 1997 album "More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art". Smith’s edits breathe new life into the track, blending rhythmic depth with emotional intensity, making it a perfect club-ready record for peak-time sets even 14 years later.
