It’s rare that I write a full-on 4-to-the-floor dance track. And this is as close as it gets. 

I tell you, I’ve got a lot of admiration for those who produce pumping dance - it’s so difficult to get the levels right. Fix the drums - oh no, where’s the bass gone. Get the bass back - damn. the synths are really muddy now. Sort out the synths.. drums are gone again. Aaaaagh! 

There’s been over 60 rearrangements and mix downs. Haha. And here you get the indulgent 12” version with 2 breakdowns.  Always loved the vocal samples in the breakdown - remind me a bit of Orbital from the third album Snivilisation. 

This is another track originally from 2019, reworked in 2012, 2023 (twice) and remastered in 2024. A lot of hours have gone into this. And many more could. But time to let it be and let it fly.

Retweak in 2023 of the track from the Opportunity / Disaster remastering.   
this one could either have had a complete overhaul, or just a nip and tuck on the arrangement and mix.  i choose the latter.  
sometimes i listen to this one and think there's some cool stuff going on.  sometimes it just sounds like I was messing around in a loopcycle.
probably both.

Nassy - Relay [DJ BANNED EXCLUSIVE]

TALKING ALL NIGHT

Originally on the 2009 album 'It's always a bit more work than you think' - from live recordings of me & Dave Nicholls on guitars, bass, keys.   can't remember who did what.  but the guitar playing is good - so it must be Dave.  the 2009 version was a great arrangement, but a terrible mixdown.  reworked here, with some vocals - but by and large the track is very simliar to what it originally was.  
when the guitars come in after the breakdown....  goosebump moment!! haha.
