About The Track
Paul van Dyk’s Potted Gold Remix of Denki Groove’s Niji reshapes the original mid-’90s track into an energetic trance reinterpretation. Clocking in at about eight minutes, this remix surfaced on MFS remixes and later appeared on Silver Planet releases, showcasing van Dyk’s embrace of emotive, melodic trance with subtle acid hues.
The remix starts with a driving four-on-the-floor rhythm and rolling bass that sets a club-focused foundation. Lush pads and airy synth arpeggiations drift in, creating a spacious atmosphere. Vocal samples from the original are chopped and echoed, used more as texture than lyrical statement, lending the mix a dreamy quality.
Midway through, the track enters a reflective breakdown layered with swirling synths and ambient tones. This pause builds into a gentle but effective second wave of energy, as melodic lines return with renewed intensity. The remix avoids loud, obvious drops, favoring gradual progression and cohesion.
Fans on forums such as r/trance praise its nostalgic and melodic depth, describing it as an underrated mid-’90s trance gem with emotional drive and tasteful structure . Its blend of rhythmic clarity and melodic warmth makes it a standout in Paul van Dyk’s early remix catalog.
