i was introduced to finnish duo mr velcro fastener by mr jyri lehtinen who i invited for my latest mini reviews thing. he like i enjoy the combination of acid and electro or breakbeats or good music in general. he gave me the heads up with a track called "sunday night" of their second album "otherside" from 2001.
the whole album is excellent in general and is filled with razor sharp electro beats, robots, som occasional acid, great bass and nice melodies. fact is that i could talk about any track of this album but i'm going to talk about a track i used in a mix a while back but embodies what these finns are all about.
the original is a quite moody track and this comes across even more in this remix where the pads are in contrast to the dirty drum machines. the vocals are treated with effects to and the piano motif just solitifiy the icy nature of the track. the rhythmical backdrop are made that in mind for the dancefloor but the rest of the track give an air of sorrow, or something pretentious like that.
i would feel weird dancing to this but i know it has it's place in a set and it isn't anything you would bust out in peaktime but something to use for bringing the high down or in transitioning. either way it's a really good track and when that acid comes alive it just seals the deal for me.
