I’m not entirely sure whether the lyric was a nod to Billy Taylor’s I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free. I really hope it was, I love the cross-pollination of genre present, and this reference would be the icing on the cake. The whole thing is undoubtedly a grower.

For the alternative EDM fan who revels in the high energy, thick and fuzz-soaked weight of the dead of the night on the dance floor, Atonement is everything the scene has been missing for quite some time.
The track ebbs and flows in terms of intensity and energy levels, appearing to breathe in and out, or wash over you in waves of varying detail and depth. Being thoroughly rooted among the dawn of the art-form, the seven-minute-plus journey makes for an easy go-to for dance fans in just about any setting.
Tomorrow’s Child has crafted an audio experience that takes you right into the heart of a classic, cinematic-EDM night out.
Raining down with an entrancing array of synths and a sense of warmth and optimism, the song engages without hitting hard. On the contrary, despite its multiple layers and the weight of the beat, intensity is kept at a distance, and the song in full represents its calming moonlight concept in a consistently easy-going manner.

Absolutely worth losing yourself within for a while.
From The Floor is quite probably the duo’s most intense and immersive release yet, seeing the weight and pace of relentless EDM rain down around you from the offset.
“(Tech) has lead to some talented people getting recognized who might otherwise not have been, but it’s also lead to an inundation of “talent”. So instead of seeing a newer DJ who has had to practice, invest money & time into his or her art form, we are left with DJ John & Jane Doe who own a Macbook, downloaded free beat matching software & are essentially running their iTunes playlist in front of a crowd.”
