the scumfrog - we do

i found this record in one of the bargain bins and it was certainly tracks i've never heard from the scumfrog. neither the a-side, which i found out later was a massive tune in roger sanchez's sets or the b-side. somewhere in my mind i had hunch that it was something chunky and a progressive flirt like most of his other work, basically "the water song" or his remix of kylie minogue.

the a-side is based on the rolling stones' "we love you" and for the b-side, which is "we do" is a stripped down re-dub of it. the riff that jesse houk aka the scumfrog borrowed is removed and it's all focused on the groove. it kicks off with a big distorted whoosh and some dirty bongo drums and that sets the mood, it was also what i was looking for. the strength is the few but atmospheric elements but as soon as the bassline comes into play, it's a done deal.

the only problem with a funky rhythmical bassline like that is that it locks it completely to 128bpm as i think it's would be excellent at faster speeds but it bears to much of it's speed then. never the less it's dark & chunky progressive house for the whole family.
