CNB05: JP & jukesy vs Velos and Ben Townsend
// JP & Jukesy vs Velos
// Light of the darkness
The new track from JP & Jukesy vs Velos, has instant appeal. The track builds strongly with quirky fx and percussive sounding stabs, introducing the main lead sound teasingly before breaking to a distinctive spoken vocal. Thankfully, unlike a lot of breakdowns, you aren't left awkwardly standing on the floor feeling the need to make chit chat to the random next to you. From here it lifts out to a very catchy main riff with a cimbing bassline that can't help but bring a smile to your face. "Light of the darkness" sits nicely between hard house and hard trance. It's a track that grooves along effortlessly, and you can easily get lost in it. Stick this track in the middle of your set and watch the punters lose it.
// Ben Townsend
// Matts Song
It's not easy to make a track that has a classic quality while sounding fresh, but that's exactly what Ben Townsend has done with Matt's Song. Ben's tribute to a good friend who was badly injured in a crash boasts a kick-ass groove, bubbly bass-line and tight arrangement. After pulling back to an uber-cool breakbeat-fueled climb, the tune hits out with the highly charged main riff. A hypnotic and undeniably catchy melody ensures Matt's Song has all the hallmarks of a killer track.
GIVE IT TO ME - IRIDIUM and a remix by DEFECTIVE AUDIO
Carbon's fourth release is "Give It To Me" from rising star producer Iridium.
At Carbon we believe in quality over quantity, and this track is definitely quality. A clear hard trancer, "Give It To Me" has one of the best breakdowns all year, with lush, full strings leading into a very catchy, climbing trance lead that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. Iridium has produced a track packed with pure emotion and driving energy, and we expect it will rip any club apart.
The flip side is remixed by the legendary Defective Audio. What can you say about the man that hasn't already been said. Dom's remix of "Give It To Me" is, as always, a touch of class. Harder and grittier than the original, it will suit those of you who like it upfront and tough...
