Fucking hell, the goose bumps I got when the huge synth came in nearly broke me in half. Expander is truly an emotional roller coaster for me, even still, after all this time. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Like many, I have a relationship with this track that goes way way back. All throughout my life I have listened to this in various stages of growing up, the highs and the lows. When the synth finally hits, it's like a kaleidoscope of memories and emotions from all those times long gone - that rush is unbelievably emotional. Sasha, you're a legend - my life wouldn't be what it is today without your input in electronic music.

It sounds like a cliche, but it isn't, I was there the first night he ever played Xpander in a club, one of his favourite clubs by the way, source?, Sasha, I asked him and he confirmed it, it wasn't the finished version, but even then it was ethereal, was February 1999, about 5 months before it released.

Sasha and John Digweed is unbeatable duet, they set a new benchmark (and they always were) in the electronic music - starting from Renaissance: The Mix Collection defined the way of real electronic music perception, music taste of the generation and showed people how beautiful music can be. The Legend, the One and Only - Sasha.

When I heard him bring it into the mix I went around telling randoms that they needed to listen to this tune, as if they weren't going to anyway.

I see this track as Sasha's sonic evolution. He kept the heart of the track the same whilst elevating it to completely different dimension, a calmer one, a more refined one. Creating off branches in between to connect them all at the end. Look at all these people at 8:20, they're dancing in a concert hall to an orchestra just like in the 90's Manchester sweaty warehouses where Sasha started off. Certainly a pinnacle for Sasha's school of sound.
