Sydney DJ Phil Smart and long time production partner in San Francisco, Jon Williams, have channelled the energies of their home towns for this tale of two cities.

Phil is a veteran of the Sydney club scene with legendary residencies at Sabotage and Tweekin as well as releases on Junkbeats, Kindred Sounds, Thunk and EQ.

Jon is an occasional DJ, occasional producer and full-time thoughtmaker. He is renowned as a techno legend on the west coast of America and has released music on Hardkiss, Exist Dance and his own Natural, Manmade and Organised Noise imprints.

For the remix, Junkbeats and Future Classic label mate Jimi Polar busts out the live gear, drum kits and analogue bits to add to the flavour and feel of the original. Drifting vocal layers, a loose, punchy breakbeat feel and a light dose of acid finish off the mix.

This is a fine release ... Original has some fancy rhythms and sprints along nicely. The Jimi Polar remix is fantastic .. love the build into the acid will be playing ... cheers for it.

I love Phil’s original the best! Nice and groovy, just like Phil, haha.

Tyler Stadius (Fabric, Deepen Discs)

Cool tracks. I like the original's sort of quirky funk. The remix ain't bad either - real spacey vibe.

++++

Agent 86 (Freund_Innen, Klein, Jam, Von Queer)

Think I liked the Original Mix the most, but the JP mix was really cool too. Different trax, really - can't compare 'em...

Scott Walker ( DROP, …)

Jimi Polar remix - 9/10 - loving this!!! The acid that comes in after the breakdown is just fantastic - this really makes the track.
