The original mix is a typical System 7 groove, enriched with their trademark echo guitar and psychedelic keyboard loops. The track cunningly employs a cleared sample from prog-house hero Sander Kleinenberg's "My Lexicon". In their choice of remixers System 7 have chosen people who also inhabit a similar cross-genre space:- rising star James Holden, whose unique and mysterious melodic style reaches across to prog-house lovers and trancers alike, and brilliant Swedish producers Son Kite, whose sound has been described as "psy-prog" and whose new album "Colours" has set the trance world alight. James Holden DJ'd before System 7's highly successful festival-closing main stage performance at this summer's already legendary Glade Festival....."
