Blake Jarrell & Starkid - Apricot

Blake Jerrell, a New Orleans based producer and England's own, Starkid [appropriately named, he's just 18 years old] collaborate on "Apricot". A track which has already been canned by Digweed and Nick Warren. [Digweed couldnt track down a copy of the song, so he went so far as to press a vinyl for himself off an mp3.]

The original mix is great little gem, melodic waves travel through the thick percussive beats. This track really builds quickly on the ethereal atmosphere creating a smooth ride from start to finish.

While the original track is soft and airy, Momu really hammers things home with a faster, heavier remix, "With Cream". Rolling snare hits build into a tremendous breakdown as the mix culminates to climax. I prefer this remix to the original as it has a much nicer flow and build, with an lovely breakdown.

All in all a very solid release in an ever evolving genre of Breakbeats, or as Momu calls it "atmospheric breaks".
