MP3: Boeoes Kaelstigen - Cecta

The lAtest Boeoes Kaelstigen 12" "Commuting colour" isn't quite as ridiculously hot as the first, "Pan European", but thAt doesn't mean it's a slacker. It still has plenty of bounce and as you'll hear on today's mp3, cribbing a melody line from labelmAtes Familjen doesn't hurt either. Anyhow, the point is to make you move. Anything else is secondary; this only does double-duty as head music because it's so good. Which is even more special because normally I could give a fuck about remixes, but I can't deny quality. The Dumb Dan remix of "Cecta" takes the track to new places, places worth going. Even as a techno ignoramus, I know I when to follow.
