Music Review: Digital Breaks Foundation & Retroid - No Remorse

Release date: June 27, 2011

Digital Breaks Foundation & Retroid - No Remorse by Ego Shot Recordings

ORIGINAL MIX

After the success of their first collaboration "Nightfall", DBF and Retroid return with a storming psy-soaked breaks track. The track begins with a thumping beat over the top of a constantly growing bass that evolves and mutates towards a techy and mechanical breakdown. The ghosts of the machine come out to haunt us with striking synths flitting in and out before unleashing in full force with the pumping beats and bass pushing the track to it's very limit. Drop this in the middle of your breaks sets to lure even the most hardcore breakers into a false sense of security!

BIG MISTAKE REMIX

Big Mistake takes the techy elements of the original and gives them a reboot that begins with the signature psybreaks sound - we've got bleeps and blips, mechanical vox and synth stabs being pushed along with a fantastic raspy, dirty bassline. The break features pumping half-stepped beats, gorgeous arpeggios and an anthemic lead which, when coupled with the variation of the bass from the beginning,  propel the track into hands-in-the-air dancefloor territory. Clocking in at over 10 mins and always keeping your interest, you'll be hard pushed to find a better bargain!

MDK REMIX

Hungarian producer MDK is becoming well-known for his uplifting interpretations of breaks tracks and this is a perfect example of his work. Scattered blips and peak time synth work start us off before continuing over the top of a deep, full bass groove that will have your bones shaking and smiling throughout your body. As the groove continues, tech fx and soundscapes are introduced, faded out and evolved into lead counter-melodies. A great track to drop when your set needs a bit of a breather without losing any of the energy!
