# Genlog – Mockmoon '98
Genlog emerged during the late 1990s electronic music boom, contributing to the thriving trance and electronic scene with their distinctive sound. The project represents the era when electronic music was rapidly evolving and gaining mainstream recognition, with producers experimenting boldly with synthesizers, sequencing, and production techniques.
Mockmoon '98 arrived in 1998 on the Go For It label as a vinyl-only 12" release, capturing the spirit of late-90s dance music culture. The single demonstrates the period's embrace of remixes as essential components of a release rather than mere B-sides. The album's context reflects the era's club-focused production philosophy, where tracks were designed for both discerning home listeners and dancefloor environments.
The musical approach showcases the hypnotic qualities characteristic of trance music from this period. The original Mockmoon '98 clocks in at 5 minutes and 40 seconds, presenting a concise exploration of the track's central theme and melodic content. This shorter version likely served as the radio-edit or introduction to the concept. The Kay Cee Remixx extends the experience to 8 minutes and 41 seconds, providing additional development and variation that would sustain interest during extended DJ sets and club sessions.
This release exemplifies the late-90s electronic music culture where vinyl remained the preferred format for serious collectors and DJs. For collectors of period-appropriate trance and electronic music, Genlog's Mockmoon '98 represents an authentic artifact from a pivotal moment in electronic music history.
