The remix, released on TIP Records on September 12, 2022, serves as a high-energy "monster" of a track designed for contemporary dancefloors. Israeli artists Space Cat (Avi Algranati) and (Agni Reichental) collaborated to bring a polished, modern production style to the 28-year-old classic while meticulously preserving the psychedelic "vibe" and tribal essence of the original.
Consistent with Posford's work as Hallucinogen, "Shamanix" incorporates vocal samples from the 1980 film Altered States , reflecting the deep connection between early Goa trance and cinematic psychedelic experiences. The Remixers' Influence Hallucinogen - Shamanix (Domestic & Space Cat Remix)
