markus enochson - don't walk away

this was a track that i discovered like many on the svek compo "lords of svek - galaxy", about 9 years ago or so when i caught on to svek records. it's somewhat shameful to have heard about the greatness of this label, from the country you live in a time where you were into dance music. truthfully though, i don't know if i would have known what svek was back then as i wasn't onto deeper house when the label was it's prime.

but i discovered the music and my life was infinitely better after that and this was one of the countless tracks that held high quality. i've told before that i discovered enochsons works through his remix of koop's "summer sun" but i will propagate for that track any day as it's an all time favourite.

this was probably the track i found after that or "i am the road" but i liked the bugz in the attic remix of that more. the discovery of this song also fell appropriately with my fascination of broken beat. on record there is three versions of the song with two deeper house versions (named "deep mix" & "full vocal mix") and one broken rerub (named "choice mix") that i think was a de facto original mix.

it's not really broken beat as most would classify it but it's deephouse with breakbeats but that has nothing to with this. it's a track that grew on me fast since i liked the combination of vibes, guitars, wild congas and of course ingela olsson's vocal. the whole track is very musical and i found it something hard to resist.

the track is very musical in content and the instruments are given solos and it's also why the bass is deep and subby and plays a background role. in the house versions the bass plays a more rhythmical role especially with the four on the floor in effect but in the choice mix you hear the sequencing of the notes in the bare. but without it's overpowering kickdrum the bass is then sending out nice frequencies on it's own.

i love this track and i wish i could i do it more justice when i try to work it in sets but to be honest it delivers on it's own so this toolbag doesn't have to worry that much.
