King of the new school sounds, be it quirky house, electro, grimey dance whatever they label it steps up for a late summer stormer in the shape of Cheap Thrills. With a vast support list including Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Zane Lowe and Eddy Temple-Morris its no wonder due to the Michael Jackson “Thriller” sample.
Herve takes you on a twisted, noisy journey that glides somewhere into throbbing electro that has been bubbling in the underground scene for quite some time now, with these new remixes expect some serious noise.
Armand Van Helden kicks matters off, and what a mix. Tough rugged and dirty with a cool drum loop that teases you with the long looping effect and absolute speaker freaking scratchy sample and hard hitting bass. He has really got down and gone low for a floor version that has a certain almost punkish attitude to it. Using the new vocal as well the effectiveness is brilliant.
Laidback Luke makes a charging effort to coincide with Armand, and opts for a more house ridden kick and structure with cool dirty stomping and cutting up of the Thriller sample. A deep body jarring bass line then crafts its way into the flow and slams the whole track forward for a peak time energetic workout.
Detboi goes to the ghetto and filths up matters for an epic 4minute thrashing whilst the Count & Sinden allow for a more new wave inspired version.
