Basic Channel - Phylyps Trak II

ecuadorian_bass, Sep 20, 2005

You could easily sum this track up with one word: hypnotic. Its the kind of track you hear on the dancefloor and you just dont want it to end. It has a perfect rhythmical structure that just keeps your body moving; whether thats your head nodding, your feet tapping or your hips swinging.
Its got the dub/reggae bassline, the techno hats and bundles of clipped spacey reverb that alters minutely thoughout the track (and not forgetting those brief moments where a metallic stab/double tap is fired into the mix).
Combining dub sensibilites and aesthetics with techno is commonplace nowadays, but when I listen to Trak II it never ceases to fill me with wonder how Mark and Moritz managed to create a track that is unique; in every sense of the word.
