This was probably my most favourite house song when I was younger. Very thankful this was the kind of music my dad showed me because it later inspired me to make the music I make today

@dingodyno9016

My only regret was that i wasn't old enough to go out to the parties and underground Raves during the glorious 90s and early 2000s. But was still a huge fan when i first heard these tracks back then and still am now, ahhh this track and the 90s will never get old

Legit though. How does it always feel faster everytime the beat comes around?
