...and then you go out to the club, you haven't been in a while, you're like, seen-it-all at the bar with friends, time passes on and the party enters this blurred, let-go zone, everybody's starting to lose it, and then the DJ drops this otherworldly darkroom ruff and deeep house dub thing that gets the party in outerspace, and you find yourself on the middle of the dancefloor screaming and so losing it, a proper MAW/Kerri/Mood II Swing back-in-da-days moment but more futuristic, and then you ask the DJ wtf?? and he replies 'this is my latest secret weapon, it's Joy Orbison, called "Ladywell", and you feel, God i liked the kid already but i didnt realize he could be that ruff and hypnotic and sweaty, especially on a 4/4 tip, and then you go back home, check it out, find out there is an Usher vocal sample in there (the man should feel honoured), listen online to the slightly techy A-side "BB", realize it sounds like a modernized, stripped down cousin of Aril Brikha's "Groove La Chord" or Ron Trent's "Altered States", and then you think this is one of the best house 12inches that you've heard in ages, and go to sleep really happy thinkin 'thank god the beast is still very much alive'...
