The beams shot through the dense black night with a dazzling flash. The cars were laser guided as they weaved between the towering skyscrapers and the landscape of a city from the future. Adverts flickered and flashed upon tall buildings as onlookers watched down from towerblocks - the cars buzzed between the concrete pillars at the speed of light in the hope that they would not crash and career to a horrible end. The finish line was in sight and soon the crowds would roll into view...

Tone Dropout is a record label with which we hold a close affinity. The label has been a symbol of what's good in rave culture for many years now and the rough and rugged diy approach to their music has won over the hearts of many a dancer. 

The new EP is forthcoming and features a multitude of belters.

With love until the grave.

In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared,
"Let there be house!" and house music was born.
I am, you see,
I am the creator, and this is my house!
And, in my house there is only house music. But, I am not so
Selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes OUR house and
OUR house music!" And, you see, no one can own house because
House music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all.
You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless
You're deep into the vibe of house. House is an uncontrollable
Desire to jack your body. And, as I told you before, this is
Our house and our house music. And in every house, you
Understand, there is a keeper. And, in this house, the keeper
Is Jack. Now some of you who might wonder.
Who is Jack, and what is it that Jack does?
Jack is the one who gives you the power to jack your body!
Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake.
Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm.
Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body.
Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all
Jackers together under one house.
You may be black, you may be white; you may be Jew or Gentile.
It don't make difference in our House.
And this is fresh!
