About this item

Not to be confused with Bradford's Unique 3, Awesome 3 hail from the Salford and Wythenshawe areas of Greater Manchester and were semi-prolific during acid house / rave's first wave around 1990.

"Fire-fly" was recorded in 2021 and sees the group adopt trance-like leanings into their hardcore breakbeat formula, especially given the track's soaring female vox. UK rave stalwart Mark XTC is on hand, gifting the track a stadium-crushing, main room arrangement, still plugging that breakbeat vibe rather than opt for his (more traditional) 4-to-the-floor smash-a-thons. There's also a tidy sub 4 min, radio friendly cut - handy given the plethora of online radio shows gracing our airwaves post COVID.
