One of Tom Trago's biggest tracks, now repressed! The Original Mix and backed with the huge Carl Craig Rework.

Carl Craig has been one of the track's biggest fans ever since it came out, playing it out in almost every set at a certain point. For this release he came up with a typical c2 re-tweak. Big one! For a limited time only!

"PositiveNoise" is collaboration between System 7 and British house music legend A Guy Called Gerald who now lives in Berlin, and is one of two tracks on the new System 7 "UP" album that they worked on together. The original club mix’s exuberant sounds and crisp beats exude an infectious feel-good quality and a bright techno confidence inspired by Berlin’s leaner sounds - already gaining plaudits and plays for its modern club feel. The Carl Craig remix strips down the original, and twists and turns for the dancefloor with dubby deep techno in Carl’s own legendary style. A.Mochi’s remix is a darker interpretation, with a long dropdown featuring shimmering S7 trademark sounds and a breakbeat build-up.
