Ben Mill – Faith In G Minor (Justin Robertson Remix)

We all here think Ben Mill could easily be the next big thing to come out of Australia, and we’re not saying that lightly – in terms of the depth of competition in this country. Mill’s been walloping us with some techno and tech-house gems (as Bitch Shift) for months, and now he turns around and raises the bar another hefty notch with the glorious slice of hands-in-the-air bliss and dawn revelry that is ‘Faith in G Minor’.

And since Ben is such a talented youngster, we decided to ask one of the world’s most experienced and respected remixers to have a go at another take on the track.

Justin Robertson, who’s previous remixed Bjork, Happy Mondays, Fatboy Slim, Luke Slater, and Felix Da Housecat, snapped up the challenge, and the resultant mix here stunned all of us.

If 808s and 909s were never invented, that soulful early Detroit techno sound we all know and cherish would have sounded like this.

Dramatic, uplifting and downright funky, the Justin Robertson remix captures the essence of the original and pushes it that smidgeon further, with its organic drums, melodic synth-lines, and a bass that both Derrick May and Giorgio Moroder would surely be proud to call their own.

Gorgeous, by any other definition.
