It is one of the tracks in Acen's series of "Trip II the Moon" singles series (others are Part 2 (The Darkside…) and Part 3), all using hip hop and spy film music samples. There is also other version named "Trip II the Moon (Parts 1 & 2)". In fact Part 1 was released after Part 2. Both tracks appeared on The Pitchfork 500. Part 1 is the lightest of all versions and is closest to happy hardcore (also using its imagery in its music video).
