It was the time when 2 weeks ago i saw on the youtube the new clip of the upcoming Warehouse Wax release, and got a large smiley face on me.

His official return to the established 140 breaks/bass label like Warehouse Wax is named 'Outrageous', a mini 8track LP featuring future jungle breaks, glitch out breaks, dubstep drops and the perfect atmosphere on a great result from SR.
