A great mixing track, and a deceptively complex one as well. It’s Geiger counter - like synth stabs overlaid by all manner of transcendental sonic embellishments. It’s value will almost certainly climb on Discogs due to the fact that it features in Jane Fitz’s 2025 Houghton set as one of the stand out tracks. It evokes other memories for me however. It was released in 2000, so was already 8 years old when I was last in Barcelona for the off-Sonar parties and spent the Saturday might of that weekend at The Macarena, a small club off Las Ramblas, at an all-nighter with Master H and Funk d’Void playing. The night was distinctive for me wandering off early, well at around 4am, and getting mugged shortly after. This happened, in spite of all the warnings and me seeing the muggers well in advance. I literally walked into it. More pick-pocketed than mugged, as there was no violence. And I have to applaud the perpetrators. They saw me coming a mile off and were very professional. Anyway, this track is elegant in its simplicity and a relic of that night, well the bit within the club’s walls.
