Cid Inc. closed out 2010 as one of the top producers in the progressive techno crossover genre. With now countless Beatport chart successes over the course of 2010 the beginning of 2011 finds him back on his own Replug imprint with his first release this year.

 'Caustic' gets rolling as the very ominous, lonely sounding synths and gated, vocal pads enter the piece. A corrosive acid line begins to bubble with character as more and more elements enter the track. The intensity rises towards a breakdown that quickly transforms itself into a wasteland of eerie sounds before the acid line begins to fade back in along with a metallic, glassy sounding synth. When it all comes together and the bottom end drops back in the results are truly colossal. You may not be familiar with Russia's Denis Kayron yet but trust us you will be, after placing 3rd in both the Cid Inc - Filaments remix contest and the Natura Sonaris contest Denis is set to be one of the hottest up and comers in 2011. The quality of his productions is truly astounding given that he has only one official release at this point. For his 'Caustic' remix he's added a very ethereal, wispy atmospheric element combined with some ultra fresh glitchy sound design for an understated dancefloor rocker.The wavering, almost hypnotic atmosphere that sits in the background is truly epic and certainly gives it a big room vibe that will sound absolutely destructive in a club setting.

Malta's Deepfunk makes his first appearance on Replug to kick off 2011. Cool and trippy only begin to describe the brilliance of Deepfunk's 'Caustic' interpretation. it's got a monstrous, subby groove combined with a constantly escalating and descending hazy backdrop that just grinds away and becomes more and more infectious as the track progresses. The scattered sounding drums are to die for and work so well with the airy atmospheric elements; that coupled with extraordinary sounds that have both spacey and aquatic characteristics make this one of the freshest sounding tracks around and would certainly have to be one of Deepfunk's finest works to date.

The very prolific production duo of Bastards of Funk and Sonic Union continue to build on their success in 2010 where their trendy and dancefloor inspired productions caught the ear of Carl Cox and Hernan Cattaneo. 2011 is just underway and they've gotten it off to a great start with a killer interpretation of 'Caustic'. Their mix is an excellent compliment here as it has a much more tech house influenced vibe and an overall funkier nature. They've still managed to use a lot of the trippy, hypnotic elements to great effect even with a much different backdrop than the original. This one has loads of groove and it's a great crossover mix from Bastards of Funk & Sonic Union.
