# Journey Of Love (Remixes) – Hitch Hiker & Jacques Dumondt
Hitch Hiker and Jacques Dumondt emerge as collaborators on this 1996 Bonzai Records release, contributing to the label's prolific output during the height of electronic dance music's commercial peak. Bonzai Records, an Italian imprint, became synonymous with hard trance and energetic electronic productions throughout the mid-1990s, making this a fitting partnership for both artists' stylistic alignment.
Journey Of Love (Remixes) captures the hard trance aesthetic that dominated European club culture in 1996. Rather than presenting the original composition, this 12-inch vinyl exclusively features three interpretations by respected remix producers. The Gary D. and DJ High-Ko TFF treatment on the A-side provides driving momentum with their technical approach to hard trance production. The flip side offers complementary perspectives, with Cherrymoon Trax's collaboration with Hypnobasia delivering an atmospheric yet propulsive remix, while Groove Park's interpretation rounds out the package with their own take on the material.
The release exemplifies the remix culture that thrived during this era, where a single track could be recontextualized by different producers for varied dancefloor applications. Each remix maintains the core melodic elements while emphasizing the hard trance sound through layered synths, energetic breakbeats, and hypnotic basslines characteristic of mid-90s electronic production. For vinyl collectors, this 12-inch represents a snapshot of the hard trance movement's commercial vibrancy, documenting both established remix producers and the collaborative spirit that defined Bonzai Records' catalog during its most prolific period.
