In celebration of Static-Xâs groundbreaking single âPush Itâ from their platinum-certified album Wisconsin Death Trip receiving its first-ever RIAA Gold certification on April 21, 2026, a special remaster of the song has been released.
Originally featured on the official âPush Itâ maxi-single, the dark and hypnotic reinterpretation known as Crucified Dub now returns with updated mastering from Mephisto Odyssey founder Mikael Johnstonâs Pop Twist Studios.
The release is accompanied by a new visual presentation directed by Matt Zane.
This release carries significant artistic and historical weight.
The original 1999 Crucified Dub marked the first collaboration between Mikael Johnston and late Static-X frontman Wayne Static.
At the time, Wayne actively participated in the creative process and expressed strong enthusiasm for the final version.
That initial connection sparked a long-running creative partnership that went on to include the co-written track âCrash,â featured on the Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker soundtrack with a Len Wiseman-directed music video starring both Wayne and Mikael.
Mikael Johnston has stated, âThis was the first thing Wayne Static and I ever worked on together.
He gave input during its creation and really loved the final result.
That moment set everything in motion for our later collaborations, including âCrash,â my remix of âCold,â and more.â The 2026 remaster preserves the raw industrial energy and dance-floor pulse of the original while enhancing clarity, depth, and impact for modern systems and audiences.
It arrives as part of Mephisto Odysseyâs ongoing 2026 catalog revival, reintroducing pioneering San Francisco industrial-electronic works to a new generation.
