eric prydz & adeva - in & out (hugg & pepp remix)

with the nature of adeva's "in and out of my life" being somewhat of a house or new york garage classic, i have little to no relation to it. first time i heard the track was in sampled form and even then i didn't really like it. of course i'm talking about atfc's rework/mashup of it and fatboy slim's "right here, right now". that being said there are one or two versions of that i'm fond of and they are knee deep's remix and quake's dub. reason being that i didn't like how the vocal was handled, that also goes for the horrific radical noiz version.

eric prydz's remix is something that i can tolerate but i don't think much of it, it sounds like a combination of the remix of "lola's theme" and one of the pryda tracks and then adeva's vocal on top. prydz also asked the dahlbäck cousins to knock out a version in their hugg & pepp moniker and this version suited me in style and i was nuts for when it was released.

the dahlbäck's rendition musically is directly connected to the original and uses it's bassline, melodies & aestethics but all redone in an deeper big room technohouse styling. rhytmically jesper dahlbäck's trusted tr-808 (which i have seen him rock out on in a live setting) is the star where it's played in a typical oldschool chicago fashion.

dahlbäck also uses his tb-303 as a bassline but he also lets it rumble & squelch in the big breakdown on the second half of the track. these machines and two different synth patches (from some machines i can't name at hand) where one works as a broad pad and the other is an plucked arpeggio, is the backing for adeva's rich vocals. as the track is built around her vocals it's really impacting hard and when she belts it out, you feel her every word. as it should be.
