Originally released on the official Push It maxi-single, this dark, hypnotic rework now returns with updated sonics from Johnston\u2019s Pop Twist Studios and a brand-new video with visuals by Matt Zane.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" id=\"avWBGd-5778\">This release carries deep personal and artistic weight. The original 1999 Crucified Dub was the very first collaboration between Mikael Johnston and the late Static-X frontman and visionary Wayne Static.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"Static-X - Push It (Mephisto Odyssey Crucified Mix) 2026 Remaster\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OMnyrhmMTew?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"avWBGd-5778\"><br>Wayne actively gave creative input while the version was being created and loved the final result. That spark ignited a lasting creative partnership that went on to produce landmark works including the co-written \u201cCRASH\u201d (featured on the Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker soundtrack with a high-profile Len Wiseman-directed video starring both Wayne and Mikael), Mephisto Odyssey\u2019s remix of Static-X\u2019s \u201cCold,\u201d and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"avWBGd-5778\"><br>\u201cThis was the first thing Wayne Static and I ever collaborated on,\u201d says Johnston. \u201cHe actually gave input on this version as it was being created and he loved it! Which makes this release especially important because it sparked our future collaborations including CRASH, my remix of Cold among many others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"avWBGd-5778\"><br>The remaster \u2014 handled personally by Johnston \u2014 preserves the raw, driving industrial-electronic energy of the original while bringing it to modern standards for a new generation of fans. It arrives as part of Mephisto Odyssey\u2019s ongoing 2026 catalog revival, reconnecting pioneering San Francisco industrial\/electronic sounds with today\u2019s audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"avWBGd-5778\">Mephisto Odyssey (Mikael Johnston) has been a driving force in the West Coast electronic and industrial scene since 1993, delivering official remixes for Static-X, Jane\u2019s Addiction, and others, plus soundtrack placements (Hostel) and major-label releases on Warner Bros. The project\u2019s deep ties to Wayne Static and the nu-metal\/industrial era make this remaster a timely and emotionally resonant tribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>YouTube: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@mephistoodysseyofficial\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.youtube.com\/@mephistoodysseyofficial\">www.youtube.com\/@mephistoodysseyofficial<\/a><br>FaceBook:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/g\/1DP1xEeGBh\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.facebook.com\/share\/g\/1DP1xEeGBh\/\"> www.facebook.com\/share\/g\/1DP1xEeGBh\/<\/a><br>Instagram:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mephistoodysseyofficial\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.instagram.com\/mephistoodysseyofficial\/\"> www.instagram.com\/mephistoodysseyofficial\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dark, driving rework from the original 1999 maxi-single gets fresh sonic life and new visual as Static-X\u2019s evil-disco classic finally claims its gold milestone San Francisco Bay Area \/ Los Angeles, CA \u2014 May 13, 2026 \u2014 In direct commemoration of Static-X\u2019s iconic 1999 single \u201cPush It\u201d (from the platinum debut Wisconsin Death Trip) earning&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/?p=19972\" rel=\"bookmark\">Read More &raquo;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Static-X \u201cPush It\u201d Goes Gold \u2014 Mephisto Odyssey Revives Official \u201cCrucified Dub\u201d Mix from the 1999 Maxi-Single (First Wayne Static Collab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19973,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19972"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19972\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19975,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19972\/revisions\/19975"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/19973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
