The original mix has a lovely retro feel while keeping in line with the sounds of the modern electronic era. Beautiful melodies and a groovy bassline make this a classic in its own right.
The Aber remix produces a gritty, techy, electro fusion that cruises at light speed whilst maintaining a smooth as silk groove that will send you to dancefloor heaven.
C.O.U. Muzik come up with a solid progressive interpretation of the original that builds to a spacey melodic breakdown that will have you lost in space.
Keeping in line with the original mix, Jacco re-arranges the sounds into a fresh blend of melodies that lead to a more techy sounding musical fest and awesome bassline drop.

"This sounds like a stronger package than the previous LuPs release. Liking the beefy kick in the Aber remix. This is my remix of choice, the bass and drums seem to work really well together. My next favorite is the COU Muzik remix. COU has a really distinct style and it's a pleasure to hear." - 4.0 / 5
