Johan Gielen turns a 1992 vinyl find into Ready For The Jump

“I was digging through old vinyl crates and came across this raw, hypnotic record from 1992, which instantly took me back,” the trance veteran Johan Gielen said of the original. Now it’s an official release. Ready For The Jump is out on Black Hole Recordings, where he has released before — ‘Etherflow’ came out on the same label. “People might not know why, but they feel it,” Gielen said of the record’s pull. He spent six months road-testing the track live before committing to the rougher direction, and what came back off the floor settled it. It is out on 8 May. It lands as a ragga-rap-rave hybrid, pitched at warehouse dancefloors and festival stages alike, and ships in two versions: the original and a Tech Mix.
