The Hamptons' debut on Audio Logic with Don't Know Any Better and Too Much was well received. Don't Know Any Better featured regular airplay from the usual suspects and was licensed to Ibiza Trance House 2008 on More Music and Media in Germany. The Hamptons return to Audio Logic with a funky progressive number called Left Of Center.
This massive package is sure to please many a DJ and audiophile. The Original mix has funky percussion, effected vocal bits and a big modulated pad for an epic feel. The main lead line has great energy on the floors. Bart Van Wissen's remix is a refreshing take featuring his
unique Amsterdam house sound. He adds a big lead and groovy sequence that finishes clean. Christopher Manik shows his minimal sound with dirty fx on the vocal snippet and main lead groove. The remix gets funky with an awesome drum effect sequence just after the mid-point of the track.
Gabuci features a great tech-house variant that gets right down to business with the groove. Nosmo v Kris B are back with an old-school Chicago house banger featuring an extremely tight kick and their usual funk. Audio Logic's head honcho Seneca, makes his debut with a high energy remix taking the main lead and slicing it up for good effect and adding a grooving bassline. The breakdown builds tension using the modulated pad from the original and hits hard! Finally, Walsh & Coutre deliver another progressive floor burner along with a Dub Mix to boot. These boys are hot and this one is sure to be massive at festivals and in the big rooms with their unique melody lingering throughout that will be stuck in your heads well past 5am.

Darin Epsilon (USA)
"Huge package here, definitely makes the midwest USA proud. Bart Van Wissen reveals his softer and more emotional side. An impressive remix but not the kind of Bart I am dying to play out. Definitely the most developed and likely to win support remix. I also enjoyed Walsh & Coutre's interpretation, they really made the remix their own. Nice bassline that grabs the listener's attention." - 4.5 / 5
