Review by moonmaniac Oct 09, 2008

referencing Rocco, 12", HARD 14 12

Rocco is a straighforward breaks cut with a bluesy vocalsample and some guitarnoodling in it's original album version. The dub works as a darker bassheavy rework with the guitar expanded & the vocalsample spliced down to just brief echoed gibberish, this does it's job well and is perfect for the dancefloor.

The 'Sing for a drink' is somewhat a hybrid between the main and the dub but with some four on the floor action along with it.
Dave Clarke goes for a hard rendition on this, opening with a deep bellowing bass he then unleashed pure & refined madness with some oldschool breakbeatloops. Heard it first on Carl Cox's second FACT compilation where he opens his second CD with it. Dave knocked this one out of the park, it's a hybrid between '97 style bigbeat and '90's style hardcore and keeps it fun yet ominous.
