A bootleg remix I did for Basement Jaxx's Fly Life track a while back. Giving this track away free. It's a groovy tech house bootleg remix of that classic BJ Fly Life track I did, never for release commercially. I've played it in my sets over the years. Enjoy :)

Released in 2009 on Carlo Lio’s Rawthentic label, "Haunting Flutes" by Gabriel Ben quickly became a defining track in the tech house scene. This absolute weapon of a single was a perfect blend of deep, groovy basslines and an ethereal, exotic breakdown, making it a standout in both DJ sets and on the dancefloor. The track’s foundation is built on a relentlessly funky bassline that rolls deep with energy, setting the stage for a hypnotic groove that pulls listeners in from the first beat. But what truly sets "Haunting Flutes" apart is its unexpected Arabic-inspired breakdown, where eerie, soulful flutes intertwine with the pulsating rhythms, creating a mystifying and captivating moment that transports you to another world. The fusion of traditional Middle Eastern melodies with tech house's raw energy creates a distinct sound that was ahead of its time, giving the track an enduring appeal. This combination of deep, underground groove with the melodic, almost haunting elements of the flute breakdown was a stroke of genius. It struck a perfect balance between club-ready energy and a more atmospheric, cerebral vibe, making "Haunting Flutes" an essential weapon for any serious DJ. Its timeless appeal was felt across dancefloors worldwide, becoming a must-play track for anyone who craved a groove that was both hypnotic and dynamic. From its thumping bassline to the unexpected cultural twist, "Haunting Flutes" was a quintessential tech house gem that captured Gabriel Ben’s ability to create tracks that were both innovative and irresistibly groovy. Released on Rawthentic, it became a mainstay in the genre, proving to be one of those rare tracks that not only dominated the scene in 2009 but continues to be remembered as a classic.
