Carl Cox opens proceedings with authority as menacing low-end tones combine with crisp hats and warped vocals throughout his tempo raising remix before handing control back to Bushwacka! as he reveals his drum-driven melodic workout. Next, rich chords and resonant melodies float amongst M.A.N.D.Y.’s bubbling remix, whilst Sasha takes the production to more hypnotic heights as swirling synths and pulsating bass patterns take charge. Lastly, slick organic percussion loops and evolving lead melodies throughout Denney’s stripped back interpretation to conclude the package in style.
