20 Jazz Funk Greats on our Free Blood remix:
"Turning the original into a sweet pulsating cosmic oddyssey which struts forward into the darkness sexy, confident and colourful like Tom Tom Club going all Captain Kirk (or Jonny Jewel) inside The Knife's creepy synth chamber, this is a lovely piece of music which makes us think of 1990s melancholic eurotechno, it is currently on repeat at 20JFG towers for an absolute win!"
