Huge house track, for me it was all about the "Junior Boys Own Super Dub" as it builds slowly introducing different elements gradually, you could just feel the tensions building in the track with the anticipation of when the main vocal would drop in the breakdown, it simply sounded amazing. Fantastic track that still sounds amazing, plenty of mixes to choose from too, lovely rich slice of house / tribal at its best.

Congo Drums is an absolute must-have in any house DJ bag. You can use as a tool to overlay samples or other tracks or play it in and out during a tribal set. It absolute destroys the dancefloor, and hips will shake at your mercy.
