Featured Chart: Nic Fanciulli

Saints & Sinners’ ‘Pushin’ Too Hard’ is rightly legendary. A massive Twilo anthem during the years of Sasha and Digweed’s residency there, it’s been updated many times since its original 1999 release—bootlegged, reworked by Saints & Sinners themselves, and remixed by the likes of Guy J and Futureshock.

Now Nic Fanciulli gives it a new lease on life with a remix that’s truly something special. This isn’t the same old story of a label trying to wring a few more years out of an old track with a new round of remixes—this was Fanciulli’s idea. Judging from the results, he knew exactly what he wanted to do with it: play up the Giorgio Moroder-inspired robo-disco vibe of the original, slow it down and give it a tough, tech-house going-over.

Just out this week, the remix naturally occupies a high-ranking slot in Fanciulli’s new Beatport Top 10.
