“Who says we can’t play disco with techno? If it’s a great record then we will play it in the context of seeing the dance floor swell to the dark bass and ethereal strings.”

Dillon Francis at it again, crushing Toddla T‘s “Take It Back”. The full release, Watch Me Dance, his debut for Ninja Tune, will feature Roisin Murphy, Skream, Wayne Marshall and Ms Dynamite and others.

Gorgeous. I wish SDC put it up for download, though. Oh wellz.
