Well Tritonians, it’s here. The “Bullet That Saved Me” remix collection has been released. The full remix package includes an elephantine remix from Ken Loi, a heavy rave remix from Sebjak, a thunderous progressive remix from Ilan Bluestone, and Tritonal’s own highly anticipated Festival Mix of the track. Sebjak takes the track in a darker direction, giving the original some seriously fun bounce. Likewise, Ken Loi activates his chainsaws and infuses a classic dose of punchy electro. Available today, Tritonal’s “Bullet That Saved Me” remix collection has something for everyone, and is one not to be missed by Tritonians and Earthlings alike.

Premiered by Steve Angello on his March Essential Mix, Sebjak and Marcus Schossow’s collaborative effort has finally hit the release circuit. “Liceu” boasts a powerful energy lead by horns and beat-driven percussion, made infectious by the bedding of alarm-like synths that play beneath anthemic tones. Crafted for outdoor partying, the collaboration offers the summer season a taste of an Ibiza aura. Available today from Size Records, “Liceu” resembles the classic “Valodja,” recreating one of the imprint’s most unique tracks.

Haze & Full Intention – Signification (Sebjak Remix)

Sebjak Headlines At DJ Tävling

Sebjak has been known for his pulsing and powerful progressive basslines. He reminds us a lot of Hard Rock Sofa because you know everything will incorporate the sweeping sounds we have come to love and appreciate from deeper tracks. A few of Sebjak’s previous beauties have been “Analog Stockholm” and his remix of Cicada’s “Fast Cars.” This time around he uses a tech oriented bassline that meshes perfectly with the robotic vocals that give this tune a sinister yet bold feel. Sebjak welcomes you to the ‘dark side’ – we hear excessive partying takes place there on numerous occasions.
