hertz - granit (cari lekebusch remix)

i heard this record at my infatuation with banging swedish techno and i had known of the track on the original ep and pierre jerksten aka hertz's "granit" was just a loop. it was a good groove but apart from some small changes in the drumprogramming, it really didn't go anywhere and was just meant to be played with a shedloads of others.

cari lekebusch's remix came out a month or so after it on a limited released with a pär grindvik remix of adam beyer & henrik b's "walk out". i've had use for both tracks in my sets but i like lekebusch's version of "granit" a lot as he took a tool and made into a track. he also added these vocodered vocalsamples saying "drumcode" & "27.5" (label and cataloguenumber) and i like their presence on the track.

there is also some additional dubby warm stabs and some more reverbed sounds, including these crowdsounds that i'm not really a fan of. i do however like the breakdown and the pseudo-breakbeat that it builds around as it works well in the mix but it's also a good transition point.
