Oliver Klein – Rheinkraft

Rhein & Raus Rewix by Corvin Dalek

In 2001, around the time of my first appearance in the UK, I completed the Rhein & Raus Remix of Rheinkraft by Oliver Klein. The project was part of a mutual exchange: Oliver reworked Pounds & Pénz, and I took on Rheinkraft. The remix follows the Wet&Hard principle. It preserves the original’s framework but shifts the tonal weight. The rhythm is sharpened, the energy compressed. The track was reoriented toward club functionality without deviation.

Released on Maelstrom Records as MAELT001, the remix was designed for peak-time sets. It applied the Wet&Hard method to external material without stylistic overreach. The Rhein & Raus Rewix remains one of the earliest examples of translating Wet&Hard into a remix format.
