SASH! — Encore Une Fois

Sash! – ENCORE UNE FOIS is the latest 12-inch offering from Dance On The Beat (DOTB-11P). Arriving in late October 2026, the record arrives on purple translucent vinyl and revisits the classics-meets-progressive trance terrain that defined the label’s recent output. With four distinct mixes, the EP reinterprets the original anthem while providing fresh angles for the modern dancefloor. Within the Dance On The Beat catalogue, ENCORE UNE FOIS follows a string of 2026 releases that have leaned into nostalgic reinterpretations. Earlier in the year the label issued Paradisio’s “BAILANDO” (DOTB-13R_NOCOVER) and French Affair’s “MY HEART GOES BOOM (La Di Da Da)” (DOTB-14), both of which explored retro-pop motifs through a club lens. The label’s recent “Never Alone LP” by 2 Brothers on the 4th floor (DOTB-52) and the high-energy “Turn The Lights Off” from Kato X & Jon (DOTB-49) further cemented its commitment to dance-floor-ready reworks. ENCORE UNE FOIS slots neatly into this progression, offering a trance-centric counterpoint to the label’s broader pop-dance focus. Side A opens with the “Original 12 Mix”, a faithful nod to the track’s classic structure while subtly extending its melodic arcs for a more immersive groove. The mix balances the familiar with a slightly elongated phrasing that encourages seamless looping in a set. Following it, the “La Casa Di Tokapi Mix” shifts the mood, injecting a deeper, more hypnotic pulse that contrasts with the brighter opening. The transition between A1 and A2 creates a dynamic dip-and-rise that can be exploited for tension building in a DJ’s set. Side B continues the exploration with the “Future Breeze Mix”. This version leans into the progressive trance aesthetic, emphasizing a rolling rhythm that sustains momentum across the latter part of a set. Its placement after the “La Casa Di Tokapi Mix” offers a natural lift, moving the energy from a darker groove to a forward-driving flow. Closing the record, the “Merlyn & Chuck Mellow Mix” adds a polished, club-ready sheen, tightening the arrangement for peak-time impact while preserving the melodic core that defines the original. Sash! has a recent history of revisiting signature tracks on the same label. Earlier releases include the 2026 “Ecuador” (DOTB-29O) and the double-track “Mysterious Times / It’s My Life” (DOTB-40), both of which showcased the producer’s knack for reimagining past hits within contemporary trance frameworks. The 2025 “ECUADOR” (DOTB-29) further illustrates this pattern of updating classic material for current audiences. ENCORE UNE FOIS extends that approach, reinforcing Sash!’s reputation for crafting versions that respect the source while delivering fresh club potential. In the current underground scene, where classic trance anthems are frequently resurfaced, this EP offers a concise yet varied toolkit. DJs seeking a nostalgic anchor with modern polish will find the “Original 12 Mix” useful for opening or mid-set moments, while the “Future Breeze Mix” and “Merlyn & Chuck Mellow Mix” serve as reliable peak-time weapons. Collectors interested in the evolution of trance reinterpretations will appreciate the record’s placement alongside the label’s other retro-focused releases, providing a snapshot of how classic melodies are being reshaped for today’s dancefloors. The record is pressed on 12-inch purple translucent vinyl, matching the visual aesthetic of Dance On The Beat’s recent output. The format supports the full dynamic range required for the layered synth work and rhythmic drive present across all four mixes, ensuring a satisfying analog experience for both DJs and home listeners.
