"I wanted this sort sustained big warm sound that bursts through the mix. I think these kinds of tracks are really special on the dance floor and can really create a special moment. The track is sort of unassuming in the beginning with some simple chords and chunky beat, but the breakdown really opens and I think it might surprise people. I also wanted to add in this element of switching from 4/4 into breakbeats and then back within the same track. The inspiration on this one came from just out clubbing in Berlin and noticing what kinds of tracks and moments I enjoy and the crowd seems to enjoy. I try to sometimes recreate similar energy levels or ideas in the studio." - Justin Ramsey
