one of the stand out tracks from osunlades excellent artist album elelments beyond from early 2007 hits the shelves with a plethora of remixes from dj gregory, deetron and manoo stella. dj gregory does what he does best, building and layering tribal rhythms with techy beats with a touch of off key xylophone action thrown in for good measure. the manoo stella mix starts deep before big pads and synths take it in a near progressive direction, while deetron strips things right back and does away with most of the vocal for a pounding house rhythm perfect for the late night clubs. a great track made better by a set of slick remixes makes this a promising start to 2008 for strictly rhythm and osunlade.
