Keeping with the four-on-the-floor theme, AIMMIA presents her echoing techno remix of “In The Dark” by VNSSA.

For her remix, however, AIMMIA dives deep “In The Dark” side of techno, luring listeners into a warehouse with reverberating lasers and a driving bassline. Both songs pay homage to the growth of techno and different aspects of it’s culture and history! AIMMIA nods to the underground raves across the world in her remix of “In The Dark.”
