Without doubt the most stunning track of the year so far! I was a bit slow picking up on this as it was originally released on French label Elias about 8 months ago. Simple crunching drums coupled with a repetitive heart beating bass line drive this track along nicely, together with a tinkling piano hook that really gets into your head! The instrumentation and arrangement is top notch and betters with every listen. This is reminiscent of those early Frankie Knuckles supreme instrumentals with added spice for 2006... definitely one for the ladies!! The Jerome Sydenham mixes are cool and deep with a slight euro feel.... perfect for watching the sun rise on an Ibizan morning!
Rated 5/5

As Defected stated, an essential track of 2006! What I really love about this record is that it captures that 'old school' house sound from the '97-'99 period. Yes, there is some repetitiveness, but it's a pleasant one. The A side original mix is mainly just something I'll listen too because although the instrumentation is nice, I could honestly care less for the drumkit. The AA side mix by Pete Heller, on the otherhand, is an old school beauty. The drumkit is really nice, as well as the watered-down instrumentation. What really makes this mix a done deal are the vocal one shots and samples, which in of themselves are an instrument. Great track, especially for the 'old school' house enthusiast!
