micah & nicholas bennison - drivetrain mechanics

"drivetrain mechanics" came as a recommendation during the time when nicholas bennison was being heralded as the new best thing within trance music. not on a pure hype perspective but he along with a select few other producers seemed to make epic trance that was driving and wasn't put all the focus within the breakdown.

it is a collaboration with canadian producer micah lukasewich and is quite a sturdy track, not focused completely on the melody but more on the groove. the thriving bassline sets the pace leaving the percussion to be wild and part of the layers, the way the drum hits are programmed does remind me off when james holden used to wild out. the melodic parts are broad and sweeping but part of the groove with some key parts being emphasised with effects.

overall "drivetrain mechanics" is a fierce builder that has served me well in sets. i know for a certain that lukasewich doesn't like to be associated with the trancier tracks of his past but i've pointed it out to him that he has nothing to be ashamed over. never the less with bennison you have more of this in store in terms of his catalogue. well recommended.
