This was how to turn a dancefloor upside down in 2009. One of the best uses of brass in a house track I think I've heard. Brit DJ Chris Lake and Lys produce a stunning floor-filler driven by a brass motif that acts as a kind of call to arms or perhaps call to dance. This instantly catchy theme is beautifully arranged with excitement-fuelling percussive layers and and a perfectly composed bassline that builds a body shaking groove from the ground up. I love the way the theme returns, gradually growing in intensity (2:20ish) until you're jumping up and down with excitement. Absolutely great!
