*Posted in House, but I feel they can easily be played in Dubstep/140 sets too, Max Power and Crash are 135bpm and have big subs
Check out my debut solo proper out in September on Planet Mu, pre-orders available.
Thanks to Planet Mu and Bok Bok, GIRL UNIT, Brenmar, Ikonika, Pariah, Ben UFO, Braiden, Jackmaster, Illum Sphere et al for playing it out!

It sounds good in your ear, but when you play it, you musn't fear, 'cause the tune can be played by anyone.
