There’s actually a story behind this track…
I’ve been playing at a garage gig last Saturday, and pretty miserably failed all my transitions.
Most of all, I had taken the maximum guarantees by using OT Song Mode for the first time in live (hence the failure) and just couldn’t get some guts in the sound.
At the end of the night, a bloody DnB DJ just kicked my ego by pointing all my defects, one by one.
I just couldn’t do anything but taking it all, knowing he was damn right from A to Z.
This is a track for all people that accept vulnerability and expose themselves to the humbling danger of someone else’s conscient glaze in order to become better.
So this track is dedicated to Lee.
