referencing Deported, 12", BED 39

If I had to make a top 10 all-time progressive house chart the Original Mix of this song would be on it hands down.

Tight, tight production: a clap/snare that just nails together the rest of the percussion, a bassline that is just downright evil and washy stabs and wooshes that bounce around on top of the rest of the tune. Halfway through the track a perfect melodic hook grabs your attention for a while until you are slammed back into the relentless mental assault.

Flip it over and the Heavy Mix is just that: the Original broken down into its barest elements... assaulting you with its minimal, often borderline-boring (yes I said it, but c'mon, we're talking about REAL progressive house here!!) beat.

Definitely one of the best progressive house records out there, both mixes display a different side of the genre, however it is the original that stands out in the package.
