Toes in the Sand has captured through sound those feelings of joy and contemplation.

Progressive breaks returns to Toes with this sparkling number from Moscow's vividly named Abdomen Burst. Also getting in on the breakbeat action is rising star Oleg Zubkov, who darkens things up a bit on his remix. If you prefer a house rhythm, don't miss the entries from the legendary Retroid and Overcast's Ben Coda, both of whom have been killing it on the remix tip all year.

"Some good prog breaks going down here. Ben Coda & Retroid mixes sounding polished. Particularly enjoying the lush 4/4 sounds of the former." - 3.5 / 5
James Warren (UK) (hybridized.org, Global Underground, Baroque, Triptik, Polytechnic Recordings)
"Some great proggy breaks on here. Loving the straight prog versions form Ben Coda and Retroid. Good stuff." - 4.0 / 5
Thee-O (USA) (Saturday Night Sessions / Bedrock / Perfecto Black / System Recordings/ Source of Gravity / NOSI / )
"all mixes are wicked" - 4.0 / 5
Steve Marx (UK) (reticent radio, reticent recordings, only records, MOS)
"Ben Coda did it this time, driving beat against the sweet synth work. Enjoying the Retroid remix as well. Just the percussion work alone in the intro begs to be toyed with (delay effects, etc) in the mix or looping it before letting the synths sweep you way." - 4.0 / 5
"Ben Coda provides a great progressive house interpretation of the original track. Great sounds being used and lots of interesting moments throughout. Good melody and harmony." - 4.0 / 5
Darin Epsilon (USA) (Perfecto, Lost Angeles, Monday Night Social @ Nacional, DI.fm, Proton, Curvve, Deep Records)
"Diggin the lovely progression in the Ben Coda mix, my fav of the lot!" - 4.0 / 5
Sasha Le Monnier [ C.O.U. Muzik ] (UK) (BeatAgency,Source Of Gravity,Proton Radio,Danceradioglobal,DI.FM,ensonic.fm,Contagious Rhythm)
"Oh yes. Original mix sounds stunning, really great stuff here! Retroid remix is also pretty nice, and so is the Ben Coda remix. Oleg's remix is also cool." - 4.0 / 5
