"Born Spark" is available on the "A-Sides Volume 4" compilation from Drumcode, due out January 11, 2016.

Story time:
Shortly after the "Monoliths" album was released, Dustin found the bulk of album tour gigs to be focused on big room crowds often numbering anywhere from 1,000-10,000 people per night. Since Dustin is better suited as a smaller, more intimate-club DJ, he found himself in desperate need of big room techno tracks...something he's generally not a fan of. In result, he went off to the studio for a session of various big room tracks he could enjoy playing out, and "Born Spark" was one of them.

"Born Spark" was inspired by regular appearances at Awakenings in Amsterdam, where indoor fireworks compliment the peak parts of the evening. Inspired by this, he opted for switching out stale "white noise" in favor of fireworks on the track. He tried Born Spark out at Awakenings on New Years without any thought and what happened next was priceless: Once the fireworks went off in the track, all of the production staff panicked as they thought the fireworks started going off early and they quickly rushed to the DJ booth to investigate. It was only then that they found out the sound was coming from Zahn himself. Heart attacks were avoided and...actually...come to think of it...Dustin hasn't played there since! Hah! :)
