about four or five years ago i was sent a link to a fellow on youtube who called himself the dj tutor and i started watching his clips as i found it interesting to watch. i liked johnathan lewis' style of presenting and teaching as he was quite a character. when he was still using vinyl as the guide, he used a few records for certain genres when mixing them.
for the housier tracks he played "salty" by dylan rhymes more than one time and it did get stuck in my head. i would have to say that i was transfixed with katherine ellis' rich diva vocal and it was on top a good groove. i had never heard the original before that as i heard meat katie's breakbeat rerub only through crystal method's second "community service" mix-cd. meat katie took certain liberties with his remix and one was pitching down ellis' vocal and changing the nature of the track.
i was however puzzled that i hadn't heard it before as it was the kind of progressive house as i did like if i'd heard this when it was released. tracks with heavy grooves, driving chunky bass and a brilliant vocal was the type of material i was playing anyways at the time. this was when i was trying into the scumfrog's material and loved trying to fit everything into the "magical tempo" of 131bpm.
truth be told that it isn't that different from other big room progressive house record that was released then or even now. however the bass is really good and the way rhymes works katherine ellis vocal makes me a sucker for this.
