Platipus 30 Years Vol 6

The sixth instalment in Platipus’s 30 Years series underlines why the UK label became so defining for trance. Robert Miles’ ‘Children’ (Dream version) still towers as a generational anthem, its piano motif instantly transporting to the mid-90s moment when trance crossed into the mainstream. Art of Trance’s ‘Cambodia’ (Clanger remix) digs deeper – a spiralling, hallucinatory cut that shows the label’s more experimental edge. On the flip, Simon Berry teams with Luke Brancaccio for ‘Pukwudgie’, a modern construction that keeps the hypnotic Platipus DNA alive without feeling nostalgic. Closing the set, POB’s ‘Bluebottle’ (feat DJ Patrick Reid) resurfaces as a rediscovered gem – dark, rolling and perfectly suited to late-night sessions. As with the earlier volumes, this 12″ balances history with rediscovery, tracing Platipus’s journey from era-defining floorfillers to cult classics.
