With its monstrous reverb and distinctive arpeggio synth breakdowns, ‘Up & Down’ is already a cult classic. Originally released on Charles Ramirez’s own label Hall Of Fame Records, it is equal parts Sci-Fi electro balanced with contemporary deep house. Charles Ramirez teamed up with two Romanian house heads Luca M and JUST2 to deliver this sophisticated workout with real depth. 

Franky Rizardo is in his element with this remix, exploring the techy and dark parameters of the track, re-working the synth arpeggios into a rolling motif and filling out the beat for maximum effect. Not just a remix, Franky has made an already outstanding track all his own.
