25 Years Ago: The First "Back In Time Live!"
It was exactly 25 years ago on May 16, 2001 when the first Back In Time Live! event was held in a club in Birmingham. Back then many of us thought this might be our only chance to meet our heroes, the C64 musicians who enriched our lives in the 1980s, so we flocked to the place from all around the world. It was a euphoric event whose success luckily spawned many more meet-ups. So, let's get a bit teary eyed as we remember that milestone event…

And as usual its of a high standard, pretty much like all what he does, i do love the style that ifadeo uses, its a fresh approach towards remixing and one i wholeheartedly enjoy.
But thats enough icon rubbing on to the tune itself.
Panther.
Not one of wittakers tunes that come straight to mind, but i do know it from listening to other remixers who have tackled it of late,
its ironic that it'd appear here (At least to me) after hearing it a thousand times elsewere and i can safely say this is the best version of it ive heard so far.
It has a bouncy quality that just moves the song along, despite the fact that it does repeat itself over and over again for the mainline,
the instruments and synths used ensure it doesnt grate and get on your nerves.
I love the snare used it has a slight laseresque (if thats a word) sound to it. The synths themselves are clear and concise as usual, and special mention to the nice analog bubbles used througout… very nice 😊.
Overall this is another one of mr ifadeo's tunes thats going into my eternal playlist, and one that i recommend everyone else places in theres too.
class act… class tune.
