here's another case of don't remebering where i first heard this but chances are either in a set by jan henrik or the likes or maybe even on tenaglia's first global underground mix. it certainly was my introduction to mike dierickx's techier tracks as i knew his tracks mostly for more melodic material. things like "strange world", "legacy", "sunrise at palamos" and whatnot.
the most striking thing about the track other than it's mostly just drums for 6minutes (not counting smaller breaks) is the sample in the intro. some people mix the track right from the top and work it in but i usually start right after it. i have tried to look for the source of it but it sounds like some random b or c-movie or some really bad television, i'm saying that because of corny acting being heard.
after it kicks in starts the progression from heavy amount of drums into well, heavier amounts of drums. it does have two drops, both of which that serve it's purpose as they really work within the tension and release system with this kind of techno. the bottom end hits hard despite that there isn't an actual bassline but that stems from the conundrum with bass & heavy drums. most producers let some percussion hits be the bassline in replace as toms, taikos and the likes have a singing tone. that goes for bongos/congas as well but they are higher in the spectrum.
so basically, this track is all tribal drums and it's amazing.
