Posted on by

Morocco’s native Cee ElAssaad comes back again to collaborate with the UK’s afro house songstress Miss Sabrina Chyld for their debut release on Makin’ Moves! Cee as always provides his eclectic and hypnotic groove with his signature drums layered behind Sabrina’s sultry and meaningful vocals which ring true here to remind us to not dwell on the past, and utilise our time in the present.

Chicago house pioneer Ron Trent does his thing and opens up on the remix bringing that super deep vibe as only he does, building tension with a solid bassline and spine tingling synths before a final drop letting Sabrina’s vocal excel to its fullest! The Dubstrumental has also included on this limited edition Aquamarine vinyl as a bonus.
