Fortunately this tune doesn't leave you in the 'Dark' as it ghosts in with presence and menace whilst turning into a heavy specter of a tune.

It sure enough makes you want to pump that volume to the max which in turn leads me to my only gripe... The base! I want to campaign now to free the base on this tune. Think Operation Blade (Bass In The Place) and I think you know what I'm getting at. This could be a real diamond in the rough as the tight beats and more than admirable vocals from Eve Robertson give this track the edge.

With a tasty trackrecord under their belts there's no letting up in the momentum as 'Darkstate' make it look a little too easy. I look forward to some 'Dark' remixing, as the core is solidly in place for some real flights of fancy.

The stage is set as Darkstate can really turn up the heat on their peers and the dance market with 'Friend You Know' even perhaps (dare I say) giving it the Speed Garage treatment if they so wish, would see it dong VERY well. Never say never!?:)
