“This track is the first track I remember completely possessing me. Then something amazing happened. Slipmatt said he would like to do this.”
Her good friend from SL2 and the Godfather of Rave, Slipmatt, has made a special takeover remix, honoring Kelly-O and the old-school era. His joyful remix of “Take Me Away” brings boundless energy and nostalgia, resonating with fans of the original rave scene.
