SummersRadio™ New Remix! Underworld!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Underworld - 'Dark And Long' (Christian Smith Tronic Treatment Remix) Well how wonderful it is to find that one of my all time favorite club tunes has just been remixed! Underworld have just released 'Dark And Long' featuring brand new mixes from Christian Smith this week! There are two remixes - the 'Christian Smith Tronic Treatment Remix' and the 'Christian Smith Hypnotica Dub' - and the single is released on Stockholm's Tronic label.

'Dark And Long' first appeared as the opening track on Underworld's epic 'dubnobasswithmyheadman' album in 1993. It was first released as a single in 1994 in the U.K. although surprisingly it peaked at only #57 on the singles chart. It was released on three separate 12" singles and two cd singles in the U.K. featuring a total of five remixes and a couple of edits.

The song later reached a much wider audience  when it was featured prominently in the 1996 film 'Trainspotting'. The 'Dark Train' mix is played as Ewan McGregor's character Mark is going through heroin withdrawal - the scene where the baby is crawling on the ceiling and turns it's head around a full 360 degrees like in The Exorcist!

So it's hard to top a classic but Christian Smith punches it up just enough to sound updated without ruining any of the perfect bits - this is the 'Christian Smith Tronic Treatment Mix' of Underworld's 'Dark And Long'... Enjoy!
