Let’s slow down a bit with some Russell G. This is his latest offering on Black Hole’s Songbird imprint; Every Which Way. You might know him for Whiplash. Anyways, enclosed is a Moonbeam remix; that duo has been taking a trip into the realm of techno, so let’s see which direction they take. Read on!

Original Mix

My curiosity is piqued, since I haven’t been keeping an eye on these two, so let’s check it out. It would appear at first glance that they are gonna take the traditional roots; faster tempo, and simple bouncy percussion set us off, with a bit of tech noise. The duo set sail for darker, deeper waters, right before the break kicks in. Some clinky bits of synth hit the break, before letting the bass wallop for a bit, which in turn sweeps us into the post-break. Another brief break to let those clinky licks float above the track, and we are in transition mode.

Two fairly different tracks, but good ones! Tech house lovers will find something in the original, and electro house/tech trance lovers might find something in Moonbeam’s interpretation, I think. As for me, well…I think I’d play the original a bit more than the remix, it’s rather calm and composed, don’t you think? 8.5/10.
