In 2019 I played about with a remix of Bonnie Tyler's 80s classic "Holding Out For A Hero".  In 2020, with so much time at home due to lockdown, I took the remix a lot further and included a finished version on my https://soundcloud.com/8bit-alan-james/bounce-times-2 mix.  I then gave this away as a free download from June 2021 until earlier this month.

However, my productions have moved on a bit since I produced the track, so I decided to give it a 2023 update.  I played this at Excite in Newcastle, and now it's available for free download.

Note: it's a 32-bar intro.  I prefer mixing like this (so you can play the hoovers on bar 16, a full 16 bars before the bassline comes in), but any DJs who find this confusing can set their cue point to bar 17.

I hope you like it - any likes and reposts much appreciated.  Cheers!
