own site, but due to work commitments were unable to. When the track was
leaked to the net via the link above, they decided not to bother.
> WHO IS BEHIND THE NEW MIX?
Though the new version of System Addict has been insitigated by Five Star and Tent Records, the Shanghai Surprize mix came about as part of the deal with Eurosolution. They needed a club friendly version of the track and Shanghai Surprize were commissioned to do this. For a full interview with the man behind Shaghai Surprize and this new remix check out TFSS 19 (out soon), where he reveals how he got involved and why, and what Five Star think of his new remix!> WHAT HAS THE REACTION BEEN SO FAR?
Previewed at G-A-Y in late February, so far reaction has been very good, with some people proclaiming it is the 'best mix Shanghai Surprize have ever done!'> WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
The single is described as being 'widely available' soon. Five Star fly into the UK at the end of April, and again in late May. Promotions and a possible single release will probably tie in with this.All reports on this site (c) The Five Star Service.
