each - street wise (jussi-pekka laidback mix)

this was another track that was given a heads up on it's release by mr alon klein, who is a big acid music fanatic. i wasn't that on to jussi pekkas production at the time but i knew he was making techno at the beginning but shifted towards house and that's where i started noticing his productions.

i'd say that i know a little part of his catalogue since i've heard his material and spun a few of his tracks but he goes in and out of my conciousness. for me i like his deeper house material and i really liked when he started implementing some acidlines into his productions.

i took a liking towards this one after a few listens but i liked it's sort of deeper funky house groove and the sounds used in it. i know i have heard the original since i do have the record but to be honest, it's not that good and it's a sort of retro house thing. jussi pekka keeps a part of it but works a better groove for the track.

the acid on this of course a big part of the track but it doesn't dominate the soundscape fully. the bassline keep the groove going well and the sparkling arpeggiated synth sounds work with the shuffling percussion. the lush pad that is heard for most of the track is really nice and the way it's soft sound coincides with the resonant acid sound is a great combination.


this track used to be available for purchase online on digital download on amazon, itunes, beatport & djtunes but i have no idea what happened since it doesn't appear on those stores anymore. it's listed on amazon but it's available for purchase.

but i do also recommend jussi pekkas remixes of "the funk miracle" by ministers of the music and "more trouble" by baeka. the former has a really funky groove and the latter is a driving acid dominating thing.
