The title cut is a deadly disco bomb, chock full of ecstatic strings and euphoric arpeggios, while the flip, "Fun and Games" sees the man channel his techno roots for a melodic, dare we say sexy endeavor. Both cuts are perfect for those debaucherous late-night moments..

No stranger to dance music, Ulysses was a key player in New York’s burgeoning electro resurgence a decade ago, and has since DJ’ed the world and back supporting a bevy of output on such labels as Tommy Boy, Plant, MBF, and Guidance, amongst many other labels.
