The Carry Nation have come far since their humble beginnings at Z-Man’s legendary happenings. “Still On The Line” dices up some roaring electro, hip hop and house records of the past with a razor blade and pastes them together with a gurgling acid bassline. The chorus (there is one, despite having no lyrics other than samples) is buoyant and euphoric – whatever genres you want to slap on this I’m going with ass-slapping good time dance music.

“Part 2” is slightly more – dare I say it? – conventional, with raving strings and the acid pushed up front and in your face. Some solid remixes abound here too – DJ Delish, Sweat Equity DJz and Hannah Holland.
