Label: Lot49
Format: 12" Vinyl
Genre: Breaks / House
After the sublime sounds of Vandal's "Idiots" (which is still kicking it on the scene) Lot49 follow on with one of their longest serving artists, Dylan Rhymes, who teams up with Jono Fernandez for a filthy onslaught of acid squelching breaks and tech funk.
The Original has a rich bank of analogue bass stabs and uses the undertone of Seany B's vocals to great effect with a power kicking peak time mix, really has some good electro tinged elements and sounds, but not too electro sounding, and maintains an intertwined breaks and 4/4 feel to it throughout, as ever in keeping with the Lot49 style.
For the break beat purists, Lot49 in-list General Midi, another scene stalwart, who utilizes the vocal hook and adds a bigger rocky beat, with more fatness and depth. He's kept the energy of the Original, but given a slightly different twist, you can imagine this one going off on the floor, he's given a pure mix for the breaks DJs.
Dylan Rhymes provides an Acid remix, which for me, is the leading mix. It combines different influences, and brings the track into the realms of cross genre, and has a cool acid line running through it which really works and lifts the overall vibe to a different level, but also gives an appealing sound to Electro, House, Breaks and even Techno styled Dj's. Seany B's vocals are brought out to work with the mood of the acid line and some hard floor styled squelchy sounds blends together really well. With a strong essential underground sound, but modern approach and lots of energy and power, this one really works.
