Messiah still is arguably the best tech step tune ever. Updated remixs by the likes of 'Spor' & 'Noisia' still cant touch its emotionally unstable samples alternations and the way it makes you chant 'AWWWWWWW' LOL. The flip 'The Beckoning' is hailed as one of the greatest inspirations by artists such as 'Noisia & Phace', it uses the trademark Konflict drums along with a progressive intro and a simple but shakingly shocking distortion. Renegade Hardware cheated themselves out of some real bangin tunes by f***ing this duo over. Konflict aka Kemal & Rob Data dont even have the rights to these tunes even though they are the ones who created them. Ahead of there time if you ask me.

Messiah originally appeared on the Aftermath - Essential Rewindz LP and strongly helped this album to become a classic.
The tune itself is a massive darkside anthem & a huge hit for the Renegade Hardware stable.
The track starts with eerie atmospherics leading to a huge and instantly recognisable wailing vocal sample and a taste of the big bass to follow. The song drops with a legendary combination of rough kickin' beats, tearing bassline and the chopped up vocal sample that should get any dance started.
Beckoning is also a strong track, but any tune would struggle for a more favourable comparison next to Messiah.
This limited edition 12 inch is an essential piece of wax for any dj concentrating on the darker, heavier side of dnb!
