New
12" single PLANET 7 with remixes by Son Kite and James Holden UK release date
October 4th 2004:-
"...System 7's soon to be released single "Planet 7"
(AAWT703) perfectly demonstrates their position on the genre map. The original
mix is a typical System 7 groove, enriched with their trademark echo guitar and
psychedelic keyboard loops. The track cunningly employs a cleared sample from
prog-house hero Sander Kleinenberg's "My Lexicon". In their choice of remixers
System 7 have chosen people who also inhabit a similar cross-genre space:-
rising star James Holden, whose unique and mysterious melodic style reaches
across to prog-house lovers and trancers alike, and brilliant Swedish producers
Son Kite, whose sound has been described as "psy-prog" and whose new album
"Colours" has set the trance world alight. James Holden DJ'd before System 7's
highly successful festival-closing main stage performance at this summer's
already legendary Glade Festival....."
We will be making selected real
audio and mp3 samples of Encantado and Planet 7 available on our site

A further email will be sent to all of you on our
