Belfast duo GSEP & Rikki Sawyer make their Hooj debut with a chugging tribute to much loved mid 90's party venue Charlie Heggartys, where youngsters from both sides of the Northern Irish religio-cultural divide raved in loved up harmony (pre-empting, and then celebrating, the approaching Good Friday Agreement of 1997.)
The track itself reminds a bit of early 90's original Guerilla style progressive, with chunky drums, swung grooves and druggy synths building and dropping throughout, whilst the remix comes from a Hooj heavyweight of old, as Dutch trooper Silvio Ecomo making a very welcome return with his fat, stripped back, bass heavy tech work out.

If you're expecting Sasha's trademark progressive house/trance on his latest release, you will be sorely disappointed. Pivoting from-and deliberately not creating the status quo of electronic music-Sasha curates a lavish landscape that delves into avant-garde and "anti-dance dance music' territories with this stunning release of lush ambient soundscapes, surrealist breakbeats, subterranean techno, and laid back downtempo cuts. This is a deep, contemplative music you can dance to, sort of. DAS VILLAIN
