- Stirring, retro 2-step.
- For many young music heads during the late '90s and early '00s, the combination of R&B vocals, soaring synths and 2-step beats was a thrilling introduction to dance music. Even now, it continues to be powerfully nostalgic, automatically instilling a teenage spirit into 30-somethings. That's exactly what Interplanetary Criminal does on his throwback remix of Xhosa's excellent "Push It." Playing up the original's heartfelt synths so it becomes the focal point, the Manchester producer creates a record that's as ruminative as it is skippy thanks to tight drums that lie low in the background. It's exactly the right balance between moody and upbeat, perfect for working through emotions.
