'Dublin 1' recalls the ruff-with-the-smooth style that Bukem caned way back when: a deftly-executed atmospheric Amen number that could sit comfortably in a set composed of the best of vintage Lucky Spin and Deejay Recordings. On the flip, Ricky teams up with rising star Mecca to deliver 'You'll Never Know', a pounding atmospheric jungle roller drenched in gorgeous ghostly vibes.
Some say they don't make 'em like they used to. Prove them wrong with
