Dance System says that the new single “was made after a very intense and transformative trip to Berghain / Panorama Bar.

“Musically it was incredible, with Kevin Saunderson on the decks in P Bar - the Reese-style lead synth is a little nod to him. The cut-up sample that runs throughout the track is frantic but the groove remains.

“You then have the rumble of the kick drums in the background of Berghain and the euphoric synth giving you that Pbar energy. I made this tune knowing I would be playing Pbar a month later. I wanted to make a tune that would make the bar staff open the shutters, hence the name. It worked! Such an amazing moment.”
