THAT is Fulu Kolektive & El Mopepe "Nfuka". I can't find it on YouTube, but it's on Bandcamp. Jump to about 2:40 to hear the bit from the clip. I think the Chems have re-edited the track (and improved it for the dancefloor). Good luck getting hold of their version though! Jump to 42:48 in the YouTube footage below/above to hear a bit more.

Speaking of stuff we can't get hold of, something else jumped out at me in the YouTube footage - at 38:00. A track with female vox that seem to sing "Bring Me Love". I had previously thought it was an old Goa Trance tune, but now I'm not so sure. The beat here is more like Breaks than trance. Also the multitracked vocals at 38:46 sound like AURORA to my ears. Could this be a "leftover" from the No Geography sessions? Would like to hear others' opinions on this.

I've done a tracklisting for this video. Feel free to correct any errors etc.

The video is 1.5 hours long, but they played for 2.5 hours. Lots of tracks have been shortened by the YouTuber but it's not clear if he completely skipped some tracks.

There are several unreleased tracks from the Argentina set that I didn't see in the Instagram stories or the YT video, so I'm not sure if they played them. They are:

1) The track at 24:18 in Nekoland's video that goes "The Rhythm The Rhythm The Rhythm...We get hiiiiigh", sampling My Beat by Blaze & Palmer Brown. I think we first heard this in their Amnesia Ibiza 2023 set, and I wondered at the time if this was the EBW that never got released. We're still waiting for an EBW from the last album cycle...

2) That hard grinding Techno track (30:26 in Argentina video) that goes "I've got the power" and also has "So funky...no bums!" vox sampled from The Wild Style by Time Zone.

3) The Menacing Bing Bong Techno Track at 51:09 in the Argentina video. With a male vocal on top: "move your body... relax your soul" and "I wanna dance to the beat"

Amazing job, Wolkenkrabber!! Thanks for find THAT track

Another Japan video.
Including a BIG chunk (all of?) the track that I think might be an unreleased Aurora-Chems collab, "Bring Me Love/Life". A longer segment than in the other Japan video. From about 1hr,3m to about 1hr,11m. It doesn't shazam.
That's immediately followed by a good chunk of @nekoland favourite, Fulu Kolektive's "Nfuka" (Chemical edit) from 1hr,11m to the end of the video (1hr,15m).
Oh also, @Bosco fave, Too Much Weed, Too Much Wine sounds pretty clear circa 23-27mins.
Carpainter's Thumper is at 41-46mins. It has a 'rap' from something else over the top and it includes "this chemical's good, this chemical's bad". Do we know where that line came from? Did we figure it out? Do we know this rap?  EDIT: It's not a rap, it's dialogue from a film, isn't it?

I'm almost certain it's "RING THE ALARM", not "Bring me love/life".

Check at 1hr5min and 40sec mark, when track is toned down.

Don't know why I did it, Don't know what I did (?) [and various versions and jump cuts of that phrase]

Ring the alarm really does sound like it's done and ready to be released. Can't imagine they'll keep that one in the vault lol, it's pretty sick. I also think they did another collab with her, the vibe is different than No Geography.

I hear "Bring me Love" during the musical sections, and "Ring the Alarm" during the toned down section

Fantastic track, it definitely sounds Chemical. Hopefully it will get released someday

Is that an UTI edit right after AOAS? (at around 27:50)

Watching this video gets me hyped up for Toulouse XD

I don't know if I agree it sounds finished (where's the alarm?!), but I do agree the the track is probably conceptualized. I also agree with the prevailing feeling that this is Aurora on vocals.
