discovered this one a few months after it's release and i became a fan of it instantly and it's not hard to figure out why by listening to it. it comes from the "episkt" ep and saw a release on vinyl as well but i found it weird that it wasn't the titletrack on the a-side but "tanken". now this doesn't matter as they are all on the digital release but the logic does fail me.
anyhow the sound of this track could easily be mistaken for a track released as the persuader or jesper dahlbäck's sound from the svek era. the drums are much more rigid and more experimental but it wasn't like all persuader tracks sounded like "södermalm", "djurgårdsbron" or the beatport massive's favourite "what's the time mr. templar? (b2)". i would say though that it's a cross between the atmospheric vibe of "kungsträdgården" with the snap and punch of "nyckelpiga" or "midnight express part 2"
dahlbäck is quite inventive with the sound and as with all good techno or house, it's all within the details and layers. starts off with with two elements that are phased in and out separately and the tension they create along with with the reacting bassline is brilliant. dahlbäck is quite sneaky with it and when the tension subsides halfway in i am thinking like a skrillex fan when i say "where is the drop?"
the answer is that there is none, it carries on and further on builds on that tension even though it dips into an showing of pads at a couple of occacions. it was those pads that sent my heart leaping with joy as they sounded like some of the tracks previously mentions. it's the combination of an atmospheric vibe that is top tier within deeper house and techno combined with a building or driving motion that also lends itself to longer transitions. exactly records like this should be supported.
