The Phuture Ain't What It Used To Be (Joey Negro, Yass & Spirit Catcher Remixes)

by Joey Negro presents Akabu

The title track off Akabu’s 2010 album was sited by many as the strongest straight up dance track on the album.

 

Retaining the deep house elements but with an ultra funky bassline and vocals from Joel Edwards the track goes through various phases (some uplifting and some dark) to end up quite an epic production.

 

New mixes come from Yass who combines big room drops with nu disco synths to produce a sure fire floor filler.

 

While the consistently excellent Spirit Catcher go for a slower building groove, with clipped 80s guitars and groovy delayed keyboard stabs.

 

Phuturistic dance music for your soul and feet.
