i had the jim skreech remix of delerium's "underwater" and mj coles remix of carmen mcrae's "how long has this been going on" in my head a while ago and was pleasantly surprised when i viewing the dashboard of my soundcloud and saw this one from mj cole.
it was in that sound of garage where the focus was more up top than in the lower end, even if the drums are with mj cole's usual sharp standards. the vocals aren't effected with timestretching artefacts but uses reverbs and short stutters. the thing that made me link this to the two examples i mentioned was because of the cellos & violins that come in when cole drops delilahs first real sung vocal.
after that the stringwork is cut up and worked within the groove and it's well done by mj cole. the bassline sounds like midrangey stabs that work with the rhythms of the kick and the snare. another thing that is very mj cole is the switch to four on the floor right at the tail end of the track. i really don't know why he decides to change it there. it is however a clever tool for dj's to go into 4x4 or just provide a little bump into the incoming track. anyhow, mj coles mastery of this type of garage is why i keep falling in love with it.
