Slipmatt started his professional DJ career in 1989 when he was the original resident for Raindance. He also released his first single in 1989 called ‘Do That Dance’ which was the first SL2 production with best friend and fellow DJ ‘Lime’.

The driving beat, combined with the spacey synthesizer sounds and ethereal vocal samples, creates a sense of vastness and expansiveness that is both awe-inspiring and mystical. As the track progresses, the intensity builds, and the listener is swept up in a flurry of sound and emotion that seems to transcend ordinary experience.

Line by Line Meaning
I'm floating through space
I am drifting aimlessly in the vast emptiness of the universe.
In a world I cannot see
I am surrounded by darkness, unable to perceive the environment around me.
With no gravity to embrace
There is no force to hold me down, allowing me to move freely and weightlessly.
I am free
I am liberated from the constraints of Earth's atmosphere and can explore without limits.
Everything's so far away
All celestial bodies are too distant to reach and exist far beyond my current position.
Is this where I'll stay?
I question whether I will remain adrift alone in space forever.
Lost in space and time
I am displaced from the constructs of time and orientation, forever lost in the void of space.
Will I ever find my way back home?
I wonder if I will ever return to the familiarity and comfort of Earth.
I'm floating through space
I am still moving aimlessly in the vast expanse of the universe.
