Hummingbirds

It's amazing how much mileage certain dance musics get out of basic elements — four on the floor beats, a couple notes in a vocal sample, etc. And it's harder to build to an ecstatic state than it seems. Personally, I've always been more of a fan at a distance. I admire the aesthetics behind dance floor cues more than I throw myself into them, mostly because my own dance moves are too goofy to be let outside the house. So cheers to Axel Willner, who helps realize the dream of utopian repetition, even if it leans a little hard on sharp angles of our copy/paste age. This tune sets my little heart pumping like a humingbird.
