as with most people i encountered this track when i was hearing it out in sets and the whenever it was mixed in i kept thinking the same thing: "oh cool, thriller". the key thing with "voo doo knight" is that it doesn't keep the "thriller" bass riff (from the break, not the start) throughout the track, only on the build-up. you hear it build and there is a slowed down hazy vocal giving you "instructions". after it has said it's last fully spoken sentances that there is a whole load of echoed vocal fragments and along with it the high pitched string is being more tenseful.
when it all boils down and you expecting a big drop which maybe is going to lead to the famous bassline from the start of thriller, it changes into a different modus operandi. the acidy bass that were playing the "thriller" notes is uncaged and it goes into a whole different melody and chord. the only thing that is the same with this riff and the "thriller" riff is they are both damn funky. the acidline gets to squelch a bit on it's own but then additional sounds and accents are played along.
the hardcell for this track is that it's a "thriller"-knick with a twist as it ends on a completely different note, it's quite melodic near the end. when the bassline it taken off on the last 16th bars there is more traits to what spirit catcher would release on future releases.
