Label: Pitch Bend Digital Format: Digital Genre: Hard dance
The blurb from the Pitch Bend camp is MDA and Spherical are calling this hard trance hard house cross over track a modern day "Black Dogs", high praise indeed!!
This Question is certainly something a little different from label owner Trevor Dans. Its got all the hall marks of his ever increasingly clean and polished sound, some of Trev's trademark acid lines and of course an epic breakdown. The one thing that really stands out in the track is unique arrangement, with the track building to a main drop that comes in much later than you'd expect and its fab to see someone thinking outside the box and not doing paint by numbers hard dance. The intro riff has one of the most unique wobbly, dirty and generally off the wall sounds I've heard all year. Which fits perfectly in with the unique flavour the track has going on.
The Dans acid line builds nicely to the breakdown, which takes on a slightly more forumalic structure, with pads and a spoken vocal. But a fairly analogue sounding synth works perfectly well with the riff. Its certainly something totally different from what you'd normally hear from Trevor and proving to us he has a fair amount to offer the hard dance scene.
Overall I've given this one a 7/10 mainly for the unique arrangement over anything else. For me personally there is one idea too many going on here. If he'd concentrated on just a few rather than putting them all into one tune I think it could have been a real epic number. But keep up the good work Trev, not enough producers are pushing the boundaries in this way!
