I was there from the first yearnings of Above & Beyond and witnessed it grow into this incredible thing. We stayed friends, then 20 years later Above & Beyond asked me if I’d be up for doing a remix. I chose ‘Sun In Your Eyes’ because it was the track that spoke to me the most.”

It blends sounds that are current, with those that are the slightest bit nostalgic, and I couldn’t be more happy with the way it turned out!”
