Trip on This: The Remixes is a remix album by Belgian dance act Technotronic, released in 1990.[2] While it is mainly made up of remixes of tracks from the previous year's Pump Up the Jam album, Trip on This also contains new tracks, and all mixes are exclusive to this release.

The album features a number of high-profile remixers and producers including Shep Pettibone, David Morales, the Dust Brothers, Bernard Sumner, Todd Terry, Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez, Junior Vasquez, and Mastermixers Unity.

As well as featuring remixed versions of four singles from Technotronic's previous album, Trip on This also includes a remix of the hit single from earlier in the year, "Spin That Wheel" (originally released under the pseudonym Hi Tek 3), plus two further singles that were taken from the album, including "Megamix" which reached number one on the Eurochart Hot 100 and the top 10 in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany and France.

The album was released in the UK by compilation specialist Telstar Records and reached number seven in the UK Albums Chart.[3] In the UK it was certified Silver and was certified Gold in Canada.
