The first time I heard "Blackwater" was in a hotel lobby. Amongst the lounge music being pumped mercilessly on repeat, this piece graciously stood out with its elegant strings and gorgeous vocals. On my return home to New York, I started hearing the track everywhere: At a house set at Cielo, emerging from a Basic Channel track during Nikola Baytala's set at Movement and eventually as part of Octave One's live PA at The Bunker. Every time the effect on the crowd was the same: Eyes shut, wide smiles, jacking bodies. The beauty of "Blackwater" is that no matter where or when it's played, it will immediately trigger an emotional reaction in listeners. In a genre full of bland imitations, "Black Water" stands out as a true classic bound to create beautiful moments on dance floors (and hotel lobbies) for several more decades.
