Up hear Again by Dave Saphier.

yeah! great!

Leftfield meets Basement Jaxx in this great production.

It all starts off with some great samples influenced by the madtracker FX's, realy great.
Then a beat stroll's in, it could been a bit groovyer, but it works as it is right now.
Some vocals are being layed down.

From the part with the little organ I was realy hooked, realy great synth work there, minimal but just great!

Awsome track, keep it up!

Up Here Again is dance in the line of basement jaxx's Rendez-vu. Nice, catchy vocals, an ever twisting structure, lots of different melodies, a strong atmosphere and many sounds which cross eachother. The song is well mixed and shows quality in sample choice.

Two drawbacks; first of all the sound sometimes sounds a litle bit too thin to give this Basement Jaxx enjoy feeling. An additional sawsynth in the form of a little melody could do miracles.
Other thing is the length; 3.35 is too damn short! I was just starting to really enjoy this tune when it ended. The song sounds more like a fragment from a song than a truelly finished one.

Overall a good track, with potential of being very catchy if the things written above would be added.

Nice vocals, but they are too low in the mix.
