Label write-up:

NSR010 – Ben Brown & Austin Azua – Night Train (Original + Jake Shanahan Remix)

Chicago based DJ-Producer Ben Brown makes his debut release on New School with this bass-heavy progressive house single! Entitled “Night Train”, this track is a collaboration with Austin Azua spanning through an interesting hybrid of melodies and low-end bass sounds. Newcomer producer Jake Shanahan provides a straight to the point groove based remix designed to wreck the club.
