The first original release from West Of The Sun on Colorize is here and it's a riveting affair. He delivers the main mix which will pop off in the club thanks to the journey he takes you on over the course of the track, slowly building with a relentless groove into a larger-than-life outro. Joining the main mix is a remix from BLR, West Of The Sun's alias, that sees him up the tempo and embrace more techno-focused sonics to great effect.
