IMPORTANT note about our Arjun Vagale - Like Her remix!

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:00:00 +0100

So we listened to our remix on beatport.com and noticed something terribly wrong with it. Something happened in the mix down of the track and it wasn't caught when we uploaded the track to the label. We do apologize to everyone for this mishap and have sent the correct version of the track to the label. If you for some reason can't download the track again where you bought it (once it has been updated), please let us know and we will personally send you the correct version (just show us your receipt for the purchase). Thanks Bastards of Funk & Sonic Union
