Title: Pride's paranoid

Label: Virgin

It certainly has an industry broken beat vibe to it. I've managed to lend it to Brian Black, who still does the ware house parties and the choon has been successful with must of the Old Street market.

Excellent use of vocals, essentially with the rapping. Love the percussion, ground-percussion and everything on top!

Love all elements of percussion. And the bass line just rolls with excellently.

Nice uplifting chords which seem to go well with the lyrics.

Interesting tempo of track at around 136 bpms, which makes it a little hard to mix with other House and US Garage choons.

On the whole the choon has a broken beat taste to it.

Artist: Daft Punk

Title: Something about us

Label: Virgin

RD: ?

Wow, never knew how romantic Daft Punk could be! Amazing! Just starting with a dig, perhaps using a professional vocalist would have saved studio time, trying to record this particular vocalist. Shocking tempo at 100 bpms (side A1), however, it appears to gel particularly well at this pace.

The assumable of the bass, rhythm and keys is truly perfect.

I am assuming that there is a music video to go with this revolutionary track.  

"Something about us" and something about this choon".

Title: Pride's paranoid

Label: Parlophone

RD: ?

Never heard a tech-funk house with a speech on it. Very little progression, leaves this choon with repetitive ground percussion.

Even though this track is at 128 bpms, it is very mixable, but tell me where I can find particular material to go with this.

Title: Holide In

Label: Capital

RD: 16.02.04

A very body movin' choon, at a particularly bpm around 155, making it hard to mix with other faster hip-hop and R'n'B tracks. The track is mainly dominated by the chorus by Snoop, but the other elements e.g. riff, bass and percussion are fairly good, not great.
