Undo, "No Matter Where You Are We Are Together (Donato Dozzy & Modern Heads Remix) [ Factory City Records ] Alter Ego, "Satanic Circus" [ Klang Electronik ] Marcel Dettmann, "A Req" (T++ Remix) [ Marcel Dettmann Records ] My review of Jona's likely hit single, The Evidence EP , took on many forms before finally reaching its current state.
