Once in a While (Sinden Rmx)

Lone’s ‘Once In A While’ has been one of the most in-demand tunes of the past six months, and now finally it’s going to hit the racks courtesy of Werk Discs. Previewed on Kode9’s DJ Kicks mix, and positively drooled over by countless other top-line selectors, ‘Once In A While’ is a luxuriant rush through glowing synth clouds and sun-dappled deep house of an early 90s vintage, that instantly captures the imagination as much as it rapidly raises the spirits, providing a classic Lone atmosphere, with a rudely funky bassline to keep feet moving as the heart-melting melodies overlap. Sinden’s version places a snaking soca rhythm at the centre of the mix to draw out in-creased levels of dancefloor energy, while newcomer Midland heads in the opposite direc-tion to spin a delicate web of floating, pulsing grace from Lone’s original silken threads. A glorious 12” that’s sure to chart high on many best-of lists come the close of the year.
