Out Of Office - Please Break Of Dawn 2008

Dance music has an uncanny knack of falling into one of two categories - in one camp, the producers doing something genuinely innovative with their electronic tools, and in the other those who seek to endlessly regurgitate house music anthems.

Step forward Out Of Office, with their terrible name that promises a faceless message to anyone attempting to contact them, revisiting Rhythm On The Loose and the fabulous Break Of Dawn.

Yet here's the rub - it's actually rather well done for a change, the immortal piano riff and vocal snippet "I'm surprised to see your suitcase at the door" left well alone, and a sweeping backdrop of warm Balearic chords applied at choice moments. About as necessary as that drink at the end of the night when you really should be thinking of going home, but as enjoyable nonetheless.
