faltydl - human meadow (luke vibert remix)

i discovered this one when i heard it in a set and at first i was a little hesitant to it as it's on a glance seems to be too nostalgic. the original sort of sits between genres but it firmly built around a heavy bassline as everything else seems to be chaotic with drumsounds and loops seems to be in a jumble. the use of vocals are interesting as it's two vocalsamples forming the phrase "i want your love forever" along with a few moans. possibly in a nod to carl cox's oldschool hardcore classic "i want you (forever)".

much like faltydl jumbles the drumgroove the vocals are manipulated with the pitch going up and down a bit. for his remix luke vibert decided to expand on this play with classic vocal samples and load it up heavy. hence my suspicion initially that it was just another nostalgic track as vibert also stabilize the groove and working together a 4x4 thing. the reason why it isn't that track like say danny byrd's "shock out" is because vibert takes it into a level of kitsch when he rides the clichés on top of each others.

you also have to be a good dj when working this in a set because you could play it as it is in peak position but just hints of it together with other tracks puts it in a better context. it is fun to listen on it's own though as you can play spot the sample for hours as some are obvious and some are obscure or only known in second hand-form. the former include world class wreckin' cru's "juice" and dead or alive's "you spin me round (like a record)".

the latter is more fun as it's headrucking like say the moan from the tailend of poor pocket productions' "kick your legs in the air" that i know more from danny breaks' "droppin science vol. 1" or source direct's "shimmer".
