Right folks, the time has finally come. This beauty’s had love from Mr Tong, Axwell and all the usual suspects, but it’s the personal quote from house legend Carl Cox that really blew us away…
“Minimal Life….. I have been playing this since you gave it to me, and I have been playing it at every gig, This is one rocking mother of a tune, this has been breaking down the walls for me and the Space Ibiza opening party, it was like magic seeing it work the dance floor. Thanks for sending me this great track!”
So what to do next..? Well, if you haven’t already, check out the full remix package either at YouTube and/or Soundcloud.
And then… if you like what you hear… simply head over to your local digital store, ah yes, the one and only Beatport and pick up your copy.
Rising & Defected team up to bring you a dancefloor monster. Originally created by Chris Lake as a mash up for him to play in his DJ sets, we thought it was too good just to stay under the radar so the obvious solution was to make it legitimate, and Copyright thought it was so good they wanted to do a remix. The result is a banging club package combining two high end DJ crews from the club land spectrum and undoubtedly unleashing another future Defected / Rising classic!!!!
