A mystifying atmospheric intro leads the way into “Morality” when the drums kick in like a heartbeat; smooth and steady as a calm vocal harmonizes ‘it’s so good’ … and it is! The build crawls along effortlessly as Ricky Force sets the tone to flashback into the days of old school jungle music that we all know and love. An exciting drop awaits full of creative basslines rolling under jungle rhythms as they tumble and fall into the deepest depths of the unknown.
