Can we bring this back? This feeling? This music? This vibe. The world needs more of this

@jackr819

A LOT of music nowadays lacks any euphoria in my opinion, so I agree with you, we need to bring this vibe back and that's coming from someone who mixes Drum and bass/Jump up. Whenever I can I try to implement an old banger like this one into my mixes.

@jonpeley

Electro-house was a pain in the ass. It's not needed anymore.

@giovanacamargo351
