Entitled “Where’s The Party At?”, the first release from Dance System's new label is a jam-packed, high-energy statement of intent, and a joyful, in-your-face hint at what’s to come from the System Records. “This isn’t about house or techno; it's about fun, playful dance music, and I chose collaborators based solely on that - old and new friends from all different sides of dance music, coming together for one big, fun party.“
The mixtape follows the narrative of a banging party (featuring interludes of smoking area chat and general crowd ambience), a touch that feels all the more poignant in a time when parties are still out of reach. As Connolly explains, “We can’t go to the club, and we can’t play out, so it's taken me full circle, back to those teenage days in my bedroom; lying in bed with my headphones on listening to music. Back then, I had to imagine what clubs were like and now the whole world is in the same situation; it’s all out of reach and we can only go there in our imagination.”
A soundtrack for the perfect night out, on the A side, the party is getting into its groove, and over on the B side, the sun has gone down and things start to get, Connolly says, “a little bit twisted.”

Such a tight EP. The choice of sound for the basslines across the whole selection gives it a unique analog feel.
"Lets get this" breathes new life into the classic vocal sample. Absolutely love this record. Maybecurtis

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
Muted dance music from AFK & Bludwork that works just as well on the dancefloor as it does for the comedown afterward. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 18, 2019
