Released back in 2012, this track is not just a memory – it's practically a dance floor anthem!

Born from Emotion
The song had humble beginnings, springing forth from John Martin and Michel Zitron in May 2010.

It’s like putting espresso in your cake batter – the end result is always a sweet surprise!
“Music is happiness in a box, ready to be unpacked on the dance floor!”
