5.STEVE MACCABE (V.I.M.RECORDS, R3TOX RECORDS, TECH-FUNK SESSIONS ON NSB RADIO)
Hi mate, thanks for sending this release over.
Good work again from Digital Breaks Foundation on his remix, that breaks loop is a nice touch! DJ Hook's bassline on his remix is pretty sick also. Don't think any of the mixes are tracks i would play out in my sets, but good marks to everyone involved in the release, in terms of production.
Thanks
Steve

Hey Greg
i finally had some time to listen to this promo. Really great as usual. These are all quality mixes but if i had to pick i think i would go for the Beat Rangers remix. Also Refracture did an awesome job though, and the original is ace!

Rating: 4/5
Comments: More Hits on VIM records. The Beat Rangers remix is a progressive and groovy tune ... full of good vibes... monster remix !!. The Refracture remix is a powerful Breaks with a very kind mark of quality. In our bag we have also space for the original.

12.ANDY FAZE (V.I.M.BREAKS, RUNE RECORDINGS, FNOOB RADIO)
Hi Greg!
Nice deep release this one. Original is cool - dark Really like the Beat Rangers mix, probably my fave - good progression and cool techy vibe. Refracture and DBF mixes are very nice also while DJ Hook's has great energy. Lots of variety for every taste on this release.
Cheers!
