Original Mix - Jazz influenced jet fuel for the Soul Boys. Colorful and catchy spoken words just for the ladies. Mod-jazzy piano chords and bouncing bass drive the funky flavor. Walking electric piano and synth melodies journey into the innermost thoughts of your mind.
CDock's Raw Dub - Dark, hypnotic and heavy on bass! Fuel injected for peaking any party. Tie yourself to the dance-floor because this dub will lift you! Bone shaking sub bass and dripping keys release the grooves energy. Spacey vocal effects deliver atmospheric chatter and cosmic color.
CDock Style Mix - An abstract of the original. Banging bongos and spatial synths kicking down your door. Screaming sirens turning your dance floor into a danger zone. High frequency filtered electric pianos twisting your mental state. Don't panic! Just dance!
