SOME FEEDBACKS:

ELEKTROMAT REMIX

Laurent N. Garnier: I like the Komka Rmx with his melodie & the Dextro Rmx, it’s more Techno than the others.
Namito: Releases like this one make me go through the vast shitty digital promo links. Have no idea which mix I prefer as they all are quality but for the moment the KOMKA rmx my favorite! goooooood!
Greg Delon: The Elektromat “Komka” remx is good for me.
Nuno dos Santos: I really like the Komka remix!
