Luke Chable Presents Quest - The Shepherd

Of the 70+ productions/remixes Luke Chable has given us in the last three years, this has got to rank in the top 5 for sheer quality and brilliance. Released under Luke's alias Quest, "The Shepherd" is just fantastic. The two minute intro is hazy and atmospheric, but wait until about the two minute mark when the high hats drop suddenly, and a whirl of sweeping playful melodies frame a sole thundering kick drum. The sound is all at once deep, beautiful and epic. This is quintissential Luke Chable, and maybe his finest original production after "Ride".

Chable reminds us all that not only is he a god of breakbeat, he's simply one of the most talented producers in dance music today. So annoying simple, yet so amazingly effective, 'The Shepherd' is based around a simple melody and executed to perfection. If only he'd make the Quest alias less scarce!
