More than a decade after its original impact, Who We Are returns with a fresh perspective through the Westerby Remix, breathing new life into the psychedelic techno classic from MVMB, Michael Banel and Martin Vice. Released via IbogaTech, the reinterpretation successfully bridges the legacy of the original with a contemporary production approach.
The track builds around the hypnotic core that made the original so memorable, but Westerby reshapes it with deeper grooves and a more modern techno structure. Atmospheric layers unfold gradually over a steady, driving rhythm, allowing the track to evolve patiently while maintaining a strong psychedelic edge. The sound design feels spacious and immersive, giving the remix a darker and more cinematic quality.
Rather than simply updating the original, Westerby treats the material as a foundation for exploration. Subtle shifts in energy, textured synth work, and carefully controlled tension create a version that feels both respectful and forward-thinking. The remix preserves the spirit of the classic while pushing it toward a more contemporary club context.
The result is a compelling reinterpretation that stands confidently on its own—one that honors the legacy of Who We Are while opening the door to a new chapter within psychedelic techno.
