It Hurts (Triple X vs De Nuit Radio Edit)

Motivo (Italy)

WE SAY

We've been loving It Hurts and its massively infectious hook since Midem. The sample is from the Lotus Eaters and the production is by two names who are no strangers to the UK top 40: Triple X together with half of De Nuit. It's a smash in waiting that fits in with the imminent return of repetitive, funky, filtered dance music - and it's still available for the UK and elsewhere.
