Up next, Rude Boy Farley Keith(aka Farley Jackmaster Funk)takesthings deeper and darker with thefreaky warehouse vibes of “Give Your Self To Me,” while Willie Wonka gets extra weird with the self-aware “What Is House.” Finally, Radio Fashionrounds outthe 12″ with “What You Deserve,”asurprisingitalo-leaning track from Traxthat sounds like something Dark Entries or Minimal Wave would dig up.
