(Stay tuned next week for the Jungle Version.)
This track comes from a period of my life when I spent more time in dark clubs than in daylight — when dancing was daily life, when the party wasn’t a weekend event but a way of being. It was 2005, I had been living in Seoul for a year, my student debt was finally paid off, and music had completely claimed my nights (and most of my days).
I was a resident of Konkrete Jungle Seoul at Club Cargo in Hongdae-Gu, a member of The Breakbeat Massive, holding down a weekly at Freebass Fridays at Bar Nana in Itaewon, a monthly residency at the legendary Vinyl Underground in Busan, and playing many after-after-hours sets at Club Berlin, where sessions rolled well into the afternoon.
Much like my years in Montreal, Seoul was an artist’s paradise — if there wasn’t a party planned, we planned one. Everyone was creating, collaborating, experimenting. The scene felt electric, alive, limitless.
This track captures exactly what I was searching for then — and still search for now: massive bass, intelligently chopped drums, and Rasta vocals chanting that the whole sound crew is in the place.
A timeless message from a wild, transformative year.
