As soon as Afro with a touch of deep and tribal house sounds, it’s important to keep the balance – not to overdo it with ethnicity, but also not to drown in technicality. Blond:ish and Stevie Appleton’s collab with Alex Wann’s remix is just at this junction. The track “Never Walk Alone” sounds confident: on the one hand – groove and energy, on the other – space and breath.

Alex Wann’s remix immediately makes you realize where you fit in. Tribal percussion works according to the classics: clear, sprawling, without unnecessary synthetics. The groove doesn’t let go, and the light afro-accent keeps the movement on the edge of beach freedom and dancefloor pressure.
Stevie Appleton’s vocals are built into the mix unobtrusively – as part of the texture, not as a front. This makes the track versatile: you can play it as a warm-up, you can play it closer to the peak. Blond:ish add the trademark spaciousness, but in the remix it’s a bit shrunken – in favor of the rhythm.
Alex Wann put the puzzle together competently. Deep elements are present, but they don’t slow you down. The track doesn’t require any explanations – it just works in the set. A pure instrumental for movement: energetic, light and at the right temperature.
