Way Out West - Mindcircus / Surrender

Who hasn't heard about "Way Out West"? Since the mid 90s they have been responsible for some of the most memorable genre-blending moments in electronic music history and they were (and still are) so good that they even had some mainstream commercial success at certain points.
Everything started in 1992, when British producers Jody Wisternoff and Nick Warren joined forces in a collaboration under the name Echo. However, it was not long until they decided to change their style and name. In 1994 they released the instant progressive house/breaks classic "Ajare" as "Way Out West". It was both a club hit and a mainstream chart success and skyrocketed the duo to international fame. Since then, the legend added up with every album (4) and single (19) they released, cementing their reputation as game-changers in the industry.

From their second album, 2001's "Intensify", here is "Mindcircus", one of Way Out West's best-known and beloved songs. Also famously remixed by progressive house/trance duo Gabriel & Dresden in 2002.



And from their last album, "We Love Machine" (2009), here's some progressive breaks goodness: "Surrender". ;)
