CIRCA96 x Ton TB – Electronic Malfunction

Craig Connelly’s new alias CIRCA96 is more than just a fresh name—it’s a love letter to an era when dance music wasn’t about genres or BPMs. Under this project, he’s diving deep into the essence of what made trance so electrifying in the first place: pure, unfiltered energy. And what better way to make a statement than by reworking Ton TB’s legendary Electronic Malfunction?

The original, released in 2003, was a hypnotic, synth-driven beast—a track that embodied the deeper, tech-infused side of trance. Now, in 2024, CIRCA96 injects it with modern firepower while preserving its dark, pulsating core. The new version keeps the haunting melodies intact but dials up the intensity, with crisp percussion, a rolling bassline, and an undeniable rave spirit that takes us straight back to those sweaty, euphoric dancefloors of the early 2000s.

At 142 BPM, it’s a no-nonsense, heads-down affair—designed for those peak-time moments when the crowd craves something raw and driving. This isn’t a track that just nods to nostalgia; it reinvigorates it, proving that true trance energy is timeless.
