This is another 12 that I have to thank Tom Dubwise for. It was his recommendation that convinced me to take a second listen, having initially been scared off by the breakbeats…

The A-side quickly builds from a one-minute intro of echoed and looped vocal, repeating the track’s title over and over and over, like a mind-bending mantra. Bringing in a boss bleep-y bottom end and a rolling collage of breaks. Jazz snares rattling like a Bug In The Bassbin. Throughout the voice is toyed with. Snipped, stretched and twisted. Cinematic strings singing beneath everything. Each split second stop and start in the rave rhythm drawing you in.

On the flip, there’s an extended dub, which has even more echo, but frugs to house 4 / 4. Its cavernous collisions, reverb ricochets and deranged, disorientating washes of delay bearing a big warehouse party vibe. Spaced-out, stoned the breakdowns are showers of fractured fragments and shattered shards. The vocal, used sparingly, now conveying more longing, a little heartbreak.

An added bonus is the Aci-Dub, which is slowed down, still house, but stripped to just bass and drums. Gated synths and a TB-303 together generating a wobbly hypnotic, melodic earworm / wormhole.
