I had an awesome dream last night. On waking up I realised it wasn’t so much a dream, it was me reliving a memory: seeing Body & Soul playing outdoors in Tokyo a few months back. It was a pretty special day, my last in Japan before heading off to Mongolia & Russia for a bit, and getting my first real chance to see some proper house in a long time.

Lil Silva – ‘Different’ – its heavy!:

But he never got the chance.

Also note the extremely weird, out of place sample that totally rulz in the middle of the track.
