From Plastikman to Paul van Dyk: Bart Skils & Weska Pick 5 Timeless Remixes

Drumcode Records

Sept 8, 2026

Five classics to celebrate their new Soul Central remix – out now via Drumcode.

A great remix can breathe new life into a classic, but the very best go further — reframing the original entirely while preserving the spark that made it special in the first place.

It’s an art Bart Skils & Weska know well. Their latest release sees the duo take on Soul Central’s iconic ‘Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo’, a rework that began life as a secret weapon in their sets before becoming a standout moment at Junction 2, Time Warp, Loveland and Drumcode Buenos Aires.

To mark its release on Drumcode, we asked Bart Skils & Weska to dig into dance music history and select five of their favourite remixes of all time — from James Holden’s transformative take on Nathan Fake to Plastikman’s acid-soaked reconstruction of System 7.

Nathan Fake – The Sky Was Pink (Holden Remix)

One of those remixes that completely changes the emotional impact of the original while somehow making it even bigger. James Holden turned it into a hypnotic, slowly building journey that works just as well in an extended set as it does during that perfect late-night or early-morning sunrise moment.

Carl Craig – At Les (Christian Smith Remix)

We were actually looking for Carl Craig’s incredible rework of Dave Angel’s “Airborne (Drums Suck Mix),” but we can include this one too. Christian Smith gives “At Les” a beautiful, deep and hypnotic treatment that still sounds timeless to us. It’s a perfect example of a remix that adds something new without losing the magic of the original.

System 7 – Alpha Wave (Plastikman Acid House Remix)

Richie Hawtin completely stripped this down and rebuilt it into something much darker and more hypnotic. The acid, repetition and space make it a perfect example of how a remix can take an already great track somewhere totally unexpected. A real classic.

Moby – Go (Woodtick Remix)

For us, this is the best version of “Go.” It’s one of those records that instantly takes you back to a certain era, but it still works on a dancefloor today. An essential piece of dance music history and a remix we never get tired of hearing.

Humate – Love Stimulation (Paul van Dyk Remix)

One of the defining remixes from the era when techno and trance collided. For us, it was simply great music for the dancefloor. Paul van Dyk took the emotional core of “Love Stimulation” and turned it into this huge, driving, hands-in-the-air record without losing the hypnotic quality of the original. Pure 90s dancefloor magic.

Bart Skils & Weska’s remix of Soul Central’s ‘Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo’ is out now via Drumcode.
