Saturday Flashback: Safri Duo – Samb Adagio

“Everything that’s good about that sound.”

Tim: Ah, you bring the Other Safri Duo track.

Tom: Bit of a rough version of the radio edit on YouTube here, but let’s head back to the early 2000s, and remember two percussionists who were originally intending to do classical music.

Tom: They were the biggest Danish musicians since Aqua, and still one of the biggest trance acts to break through to the mainstream. This is everything that’s good about that early 2000s euphoric trance sound.

Tim: It is, it really is.

Tom: I still want to spend hours in a club dancing like a loon to songs just like this. I just wish they hadn’t mixed ridiculous crowd noise in, though.

Tim: Yeah, but if you’re spending hours in a club, you won’t notice it, will you? Unless it’s a very poor club, I suppose.
