Review by Leandro Crespo Ziotto

Bonzai Clasix, the album by Various Artists, is a tribute to the legendary Bonzai Records, a Belgian techno and trance label that has been around for over two decades. The album features some of the label's most iconic tracks, remastered and reimagined by a new generation of producers.

The album kicks off with "Universal Nation" by Push, a classic trance anthem from 1998 that still sounds fresh and invigorating. The new version by Bart Skils is a bit more stripped-down and minimalistic, but it still captures the essence of the original.

Other highlights include "The House of House" by Cherrymoon Trax, a seminal techno track from 1992 that has been given a modern twist by Belgian producer Charlotte de Witte, and "Energy Flash" by Joey Beltram, a pioneering acid techno track from 1990 that has been reworked by Italian producer Marco Faraone.

Bonzai Clasix is a fitting tribute to the legacy of Bonzai Records, and a testament to the enduring power of techno and trance music. Whether you're a fan of the label or just a lover of electronic music in general, this album is definitely worth checking out.
