Sort of. The "visualization" for Paul Rose's ecstatic final single of 2012 features some impressive 3D animations, and a whole lot of Scuba logo action.

It's the same video he's used for other clips... nothing new really.

I haven't exactly welcomed Scuba's latest broad-stroked sound with open ears, but there have been the occasional peaks. This, however, is rubbish, pure and simple. As generic and formulaic a track as I have heard from a critically-acclaimed producer and dj. The vocal is annoyingly banal, the production supposedly 'big-room' - in as much as 'big-room' equates to loudly-mastered obviousness. It is so incredibly unsubtle and devoid of real art. What rankles the most is that it appears to be undecided about whether to go for the pop audience or the dance crowd, stretches for both and ends up in an ignoble heap on the floor. Don't get me started on the 'brand-aware' video. Balls.


It seems that alongside Husk and Vision of Lol UK has a BIG year for old sk00L house tunage Llama

RA Review
The polarising figure of Paul Rose rounds off what has arguably been his highest profile year to date with the successor to November's Talk Torque . "Hardbody," available digitally or as a one-sided vinyl, follows the same path as its predecessor. Unashamedly overblown with '90s chart-house euphori..

Damn, I was hoping for the standard Scuba 3.5 / 5.

I think Talk Torque was a much better tune than this but what do i know. Maybe this will grow on me

Catchy bassline. It all sounds like Scuba v3.11, anyway. And am I the only one who is becoming a bit tired this kind of choppy vocal sampling?

Reminds me of late 90s progressive house, LOVE IT! Don't deny none of you ever listened to GU mixes from that era.

What the fuck is this guy up to?


A man with a crate full of bangers should never be trusted, a man with pocket full is a friend for life.

I miss the contemplative scuba from Triangulation, which was my AOTY that year.

'selling out' is such an overused term but I'd really want to use it to describe scuba

Well i liked this and think it will go down well for the 5:30 shakers getting us through. Respect from the real floor.

I don't subscribe to any of this "sell-out" bullshit. Sometimes good music crosses over, sometimes producers like to expand their style range, who cares.

This is a tune, end of.
