DJs From Mars feat. Fragma - Insane (In Da Brain)

This is the collaboration of the mega bootleg act and the German trio. DJs From Mars are known for their unusual and unlikely bootleg mixes that somehow work. Fragma is the German group responsible for the modern dancefloor classic "Toca's Miracle." Featuring vocalist Damae, the song is in the Electro/Pop style in its original version. This song could easily fit in with the Dance/Pop music that is all over the radio airwaves these days.

There are many, many remixes of this. They are in the range of harder Electro/House all the way to Dubstep. The Gabry Ponte and Muttonheads mixes are the best of the bunch in addition to the original. The other versions are good as well.

Fragma - Toca’s Miracle 2008

This one began life in 1997 when Coco released the single “I Need A Miracle” on Positiva in the UK. Nearly a couple years later, Fragma released their instrumental hit “Toca Me”, also on Positiva. A short time after that, some DJ created a mashup using the Coco vocal over the hypnotic Fragma track. In 1999, the bootleg was professionally recreated and released on Positiva as “Toca’s Miracle.” The song was picked up by various labels all over the world and was a big hit. Since then, the song has been remade and updated regularly.

The latest update actually happened in late 2007 with the In Petto mixes (these are different from the ones on the original release). Most of the familiar elements present in the original are included over a minimal house production. The Wideboys continue in the same direction with their mix. It’s a borderline Speed Garage/Electro House mix. A good alternative.
