i don't remember how i discovered this one but i have a suspicion that it was though a set. i'd heard the original set of mixes before it and wasn't impressed. it had a really good soulful vocal and good production values as per usual from the san francisco based producers.
it was very much in line with what would be known as the naked music sound or in this case the om records sound. and while i wasn't that impressed it wasn't bad but zed bias & dj injekta's phuturistix remix knocked the original set of mixes out of the park. it grabbed me quite fast and it was through the combination of heavy set drums, a really slick bass and of course that soulful vocal.
the original is a broken beat effort like this remix but the drums are lighter and overall it feels weaker compared to zed bias & injektas version. in terms of drum patterns four on the floor can get boring and when i discovered broken beat i tended to go for the stuff with the weirdest ones (well, the ones according to me).
this one isn't that odd but it's actually a pattern relying on triplets and many kicks and a really popping & impacting snare. the rhythm is really strong and driving and it sets a good juxtapose to the omega brooks' vocal and frank swart's live bass that was incorporated from the original.
i love this tune so much and i'll keep supporting it till day dot. it's just so good in all aspects whether it's rhythmically or melodically or vocally.
