A true gem from the golden era of tech-house, In Da Shadows / The Key is a cult classic that first surfaced in the late '90s, a period when the underground dance scene was thriving with innovation and raw energy. Originally released on the esteemed Swag offshoot label, Surreal Recordings, this record quickly gained traction among DJs and collectors for its deep, rolling grooves and hypnotic soundscapes. 

The A-side features In Da Shadows, reworked by none other than Terry Francis—one of the pioneers of the UK tech-house movement and a long-standing resident at Fabric London. His remix injects a signature blend of driving percussion, moody basslines, and atmospheric textures, making it a staple for heads-down dancefloor moments.

On the flip, The Key (Wax Trax Remix) offers an equally immersive experience. Wax Trax, known for their meticulous approach to groove-heavy electronic music, takes the original and twists it into a deeper, more spacey journey, layering dubbed-out effects and intricate rhythms that perfectly encapsulate the late-night warehouse vibe.

The original pressing of this release has become a sought-after rarity, often commanding high prices on the secondhand market due to its limited availability and enduring appeal among tech-house aficionados. Now, with this highly anticipated repress, a new generation of selectors and collectors can finally get their hands on a piece of tech-house history.

Available on 12" Vinyl.
