I'm really happy you're refreshing this classic album with a slick new visualiser! loving your new fatlantic stuff as well, it's very rare for similar artists to stay true to their genre 20 years later. big respect Rob

Hey Rob, is there any way of getting the full version of Basstrap? I remember hearing a version with an extended ending a long time ago.

@overseer6498

Hi there, I think there was a longer version but I’m not able to release any of the Sony stuff... it’s possible it was on an earlier EP but I’m not sure. Sorry, not much help really! Thanks though.
