Like many people my age, 'Pump Up The Volume' was my first experience with dance culture. It's not an understatement to say it blew my mind wide open, revealing an entirely new universe of music that existed outside the Top 40. Caribou's Dan Snaith had a similar epiphany, and 'Volume' is his tribute to one of the most important House tunes in UK history. He's taken the original M/A/R/R/S track and respectfully twisted it, creating something fresh, exciting and achingly beautiful in places, helped along by some gorgeous vocal touches. This one is giving me all of the warm fuzzies.
