referencing Elements, CD, Maxi, TWDM-55408
After all those years and countless plays, "Elements" still remains a truly unique track that never fails to impress - even after many many listens. Simplicity is the recipe for success here: massive beats and filtered deep bassline, topped with pitched male vocal describing the process of creating a track - a package that works surprisingly well on any dancefloor. Yup, that's about it. Nothing less, nothing more. Danny Tenaglia is a house music genius and "Elements" is his best material to date. Essential.
My favorite version is 'The Chant Mix', with a lot less vocals, and a vocal riff similar to 'Hello-Hello-Hello' from 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana. The emphasis is given to the darkness of the melody.
If you want a full instrumental, 'The Tracks' is just what you need. Bonus beats and voice are yours for mixing pleasure.
Danny Tenaglia later re-used parts of this single for "Dibiza (Bring The Drums Back)", released in 2006.
