sasse - took my love (featuring big bully)

i heard sasse's own detroit mix on soundcloud and initially i was going to write about that since i quite liked it on the first, second and third listen but as i stalled my entry on it i had a change of heart. after hearing the original version it was no doubt that this was the song to be highlighted and the reason was the bassline. i will say that the detroit mix has it's charm but i can easily listen to company b's "fascinated" if i want to hear that percussion groove that's prominent.

the track kicks off in typical slower techy house manner with a deep tr-808 kick and rim shot and then there is there is lower frequency murmur that first appears once every bar. then after the break there is a chordal structure to it and it forms as the bassline from loleatta holloway's "we're getting stronger" which i didn't know until i heard whitney houston's big comeback single "million dollar bill".

you also hear the vocal stylings of big bully who've been on a number of deeper techno numbers including mikael stravösand's "no turning back". i want to describe his effort on this track as a sleazy robert owens but it's with this sleaze he pulls it off. the track also features some nice acid wiggle and i believe it's actually throughout the track but that it's most noticable halfway in when the midrangey melody comes in.

finlands pride and joy sasse comes through big with this track and i love it.
