  6. SOTU Underground Update - Quivver

    in Miami

    Posted

    Quivver - Boz Boz

    John Graham. Once a member of Tilt, and better known as Quivver. His production credits tell a story of consistency and excellence, but since leaving Tilt many months ago the man has remained somewhat silent, and it's only now that after two years that we finally get to year the first of many new productions he has been working on, the first being 'Boz Boz'

    Quivver's Main Mix is introduced by some subtle effects simmering in the background, before the main bassline kicks in, synths weaving their way in and out of the groove, deep snares and drums slotting into gaps in the track, before a vocodered vocal sample brings itself to the foreground and the pace lifts, building and weaving it's way into foward until the vocal takes over for a short time and the peak time desire of this track is fully realised, offloading tight atmospheric effects amidst a deep, driving bassline, but then Quivver is no stranger to pulling out surprises when you least expect them.

    The Transport Dub was in its original form first released on Quivver's Transport mix cd, but has now since been reworked for full release, stripping down Quivver's Main Mix, placing more emphasis on the atmospheric effects and giving the main synth line a much deeper sound in the process. Synths echo in the background and the strange circles circle and loop behind the bassline. Darker and dubbed out, this is a nice alternative mix for the deeper moodier sets.

    The two year wait has been a long one and Baroque fought off major interest from other labels to sign this track. Hopefully we will see more output from John on Baroque soon. Watch out for more new material from this man, including a new Space Manouevres track, and a collaboration with Blackwatch on the horizon.

    Not the same genre as you guys but still a great song.

    running down that street,

    heading for the void,

    just to catch a moment,

    you stole the,

    love so fragile,

    will it break,

    into a million pieces,

    will you forsake me?

    Time is an infinite place,

    but it may pause,

    the time to fall,

    my time is an infinite space,

    AM I ON PAUSE???,

    or will I fall....In love again???,

    in love again???,

    in love again..........

    Noel Sanger - Dissident

    Noel Sanger is back after his last release on Music Now, ‘Breathe’, with a storming return. ‘Dissident’ showcases Noel’s growing production strength and is causing quite a stir among a variety of DJs from Paul Oakenfold to Saeed & Palash.

    Striking the first blow with sharp snares, ‘Dissident’ makes it clear to dancefloors who is in charge. Sub level bass kicks soon join the fray as this dark story begins to unfold. Whispery echoes fill the background behind a pounding percussion and chugging bass line. With the addition of a striking subliminal melody, Noel adds a sense of somberness to this storming track. I do wish he would have built on the melody a bit more or thrown in some of his signature break beats that I love. There is enough production trickery to fool the ear, making repeated listens very enjoyable for months to come.

    Stryke’s (Substance Recordings / Hooj Choons) remix, with it’s brooding bass lines makes a great addition to Noel’s original. It certainly delivers a more in your face approach to Noel’s ideas. The bass line, as if growling in pain builds alongside the charging drums and stabbing synths right up to the climax. The breakdown is ferocious with a marching band’s drum line styled breakbeat and low bass bombs. Dropping out to almost nothing but building blips, Stryke builds suspense with the listener. Distorted vocals re-introduce the main line of the track returning to where it left off. The styles in this track range from techno to tribal to trance, a trait which Stryke is known for.

    DJs, pick this up. Dancefloors will love you for it.

  20. SOTU Underground Update - Phreaq

    in Miami

    One of my favorite tracks,

    Phreaq's debut single 'Falling' was released on IDJ in November 2000 but still holds a place in most intelligent dance floors. It is an atmospheric track with a haunting melody, that captures the imagination with it's chords and vocal line, echoing back to both the song's title and the late Eighties, with a modern twist for a new generation. Fans of A Man Called Adam, early Dot Allison in One Dove, and Orchestra of One will immediately be drawn into Falling blissful depths. The pulsing percussion of the original gets a good going over on the deeper club mix, heavier on the bass and added effects on the vocals, providing an almost latin vibe to the mix as the keyboards come in to build up the atmosphere. The bongos and percussion drive the tune, and the haunting melody of the vocal is here again until the beat kicks in.

    Adam Dived, aka Dino Lenny, completes the remix package, giving the tune a progressive house re-working, taking the driving beats and twisting them on their head in true tribal style. The beautiful melodic vocals fit perfectly over the atmospheric effects and punching keyboards, combining with the now darker signature rhythms of this now twisted house track. Expect to find Phreaq's 'Falling' at home on any dance floor, or in any mindset, exciting the crowds and whipping them into a frenzy, blowing apart any attempts to pigeonhole this band...

    Although released in 2000, I still find this one in the front of my favorite crate.
