bought this along the cdsingles for "hungry" and "catch" a year or so after their release and on most of the versions it was a few versions i geared for. for "catch" it was ferry corsten's remix and hungry had a great rerub from bent and one from decoder & substance. on "hide u" the version was of course the john creamer & stephane k remix as that was the hit.
the e.s. dubs remix by dave jones (aka zed bias and maddslinky who is actually credited on the remix) was one i caught on to several years later. it was actually one of the first remixes to be released of "hide u" along with a version by young offendaz, who isn't that good. it was released before john creamer took the acapella of "hide u" and knocked out a bootleg remix that would prove itself so successful to go on to be the single & video version.
however i wasn't into uk garage at the time and i thought little of jones' remix but as i revisited the remix a few years i couldn't stop playing it. the drums were smacking and the bassline swayed around the bottom end in the best way possible. if i must remark on something then it's the clap that has a squashy trail and i don't really like it. otherwise it's well done, from the pads to the drums and the way the vocal floats on top of it with great effects.
buy here (itunes)
