In 2002, Underground Resistance released 'Transition', a track that is now regarded as one of the most formative dance music tracks of the early 2000s. Lyrically, the track expresses change, development, and growth through self-actualization and recognizing one's dreams.
As queer people, the concept of transitioning is fundamental. To constantly grow and change and adapt is essential to becoming one's truest self, which is something I reflected on a lot when I put this remix together.
This remix is dedicated to everyone who has made their transition to become their truest self and everyone who commits to their transition as a life-long journey.
