Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)

Excuse the double commenting, but...
Listening to Insomnia is like going to church. It feels like a religious, euphoric experience, every f*cking time. The anticipation for the beat drop is killer, and the drop itself is phenomenal. Maxi Jazz's voice is like that of a preacher, impossibly cool and determined and yet so understated in his delivery; it's the narration to the experiences this song puts you through.
The perfect love child of rave and house. Simultaneously a broad crowdpleaser of a track and a life changing sonic journey. Very, very few things compare to this. Forms the trio of the definitive dance songs of the Ninteties alongside Firestarter and Born Slippy.
(Original rating: 90/100)
Great Club track
