dinky - this is your heart

"acid in my fridge" spread like wildfire when it came out in late '05 and mostly it was tobi neumanns rerub that got most play, including from me. it must have been that been that bassline that did the works including the vocal from alejandra iglesias herself saying "take a trip, there's acid in my fridge" in her somewhat cold demeanour and accented english. it also worked as i was busting out the abe duque remix of chloé's "take care" at the time and chloé thevenin had the same kind of delivery in her vocal.

when i was looking at her catalogue, as i was purchasing the original "acid in my fridge" digitally, a few of her newer releases came to tickle my ears and one of them was the "time to lose it ep" on visionquest. a really well produced ep with a lovely title track and a funky cut called "teka" that i'm sure set some dancefloors on fire. then there was techy "this is your heart" which i remembered that dj sandra mosh played in one of her sets on national radio and i love this track.

it employs a rather subby bassline and on top there a stiff techno groove moving along in a nice pace. the sound from iglesias' synthesizers and machines are present right as the kickdrum go in and you hear a warm pulsating sweeping sound that bring forward an arpeggio that is present throughout the track. the pulsating sound fades in and out of sections and it bring a nice dynamic as it works as the tension builder.  also it wouldn't be dinky without her voice occasionally gracing the track and you hear say "this is your heart" every once a while. great tune.
