Review by Atila

Judge Jules’ Ordinary Day: A 2006 Dancefloor Bombshell That Still Bangs Alright, let’s cut the crap. Judge Jules’ Ordinary Day isn’t just another electronic album from the mid-2000s—it’s a full-on assault on your eardrums in the best way possible. Released under Maelstrom Records back in ‘06, this UK banger dives headfirst into club/dance, electro, Euro house, and trance vibes like it owns the damn scene. And guess what? It kinda does. First off, you can’t talk about this record without shouting out Cara Dillon’s vocals. She brings that angelic touch to the chaos, making tracks hit harder than they should. But let’s get real for a sec—this album ain’t perfect. Some remixes feel repetitive (seriously, how many versions of “Ordinary Day” do we need?), but when it works, holy hell, it WORKS. Take “Ordinary Day (Fabio Stein Remix)”, for example. This track is pure fire. Fabio Stein flips the original into something darker, grittier, and way more hypnotic. The bassline slaps so hard it feels like it’s punching you in the chest, while Cara’s voice floats above like some ethereal siren calling you to the dancefloor. You don’t just hear this one—you feel it. Every beat lands with precision, every synth stabs right where it hurts (in a good way). If I had to pick one track that stuck with me after all these years, this would be it. No debate. Then there’s “Ordinary Day (Karl G Remix)”, which takes things in a completely different direction. Where Fabio goes dark, Karl G brings the euphoria. This version explodes with energy, layering bright synths over pounding drums that scream summer festivals and sweaty clubs. It’s the kind of song that makes you wanna throw your hands up and lose yourself—even if you’re just sitting at home listening through headphones. The drop? Insane. Like, I still remember hearing this for the first time and thinking, “Whoa, okay, THIS is why people rave.” Now, here’s the kicker: despite its flaws, Ordinary Day holds up better than most albums from that era. Sure, some remixes blur together, and yeah, maybe it leans a bit too heavy on the formula—but who cares? When it nails it, it REALLY nails it. Plus, there’s something oddly comforting about an album that refuses to reinvent the wheel but instead polishes it until it gleams. Here’s the unexpected part though: as much as I love the big beats and flashy production, the moments that stick with me most are the quieter ones. Cara Dillon’s voice cuts through the madness like sunlight breaking through storm clouds. It reminds me that even in the loudest, wildest spaces, there’s always room for beauty. Weird flex, but true. So yeah, Judge Jules didn’t just drop an album—he dropped a vibe. One that’ll keep your feet moving and your heart racing long after the last track fades out. Now go crank it up and let the nostalgia hit you like a ton of bricks.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many memories to this track.... my entire body gets goose bumps whenever I hear that lead synth line!!
This track sums up the raw, often fleeting, but very powerful emotions that MDMA and MDA can channel.
