A new blaster from Danish label OKYO Recordings.

Young Dane Morten Alick delivers the track that also receives a nice treatment by Yousef.

Morten Alick has a background in Drum ’n’ Bass music but shows his talent for producing floor filling big room sounds on this sixth release from danish OKYO Recordings.

The original track is a fusion between bips, bleeps, aggressive drums and acid bass lines – among all this is an absolutely beautiful synth theme that is the key element of the track.

From first till last it has a fantastic energy that is taken down in the middle to be build up again by the amazing theme – and then it kicks off!!!

Yousef delivers the remix that’s a raw thing using the syntherzeiser riff from the original and giving it an even more raw sound. With loads of noise, a deep kick and penetrating hi-hats it delivers an effect that should make every crowd go mental as a huge build-up ends up exploding in an inferno of sounds and energy.
