Sidekick – Respond/What You Want

  • Share
  • Greg Patterson, aka Sidekick, is a Liverpool based producer who makes his debut for YO with their second release. His first workings, ‘Tricks’, was released on Junior and with this follow up we can expect to see greater things from this producer. Respond With large support from Digweed, there is no doubting the effect this track would do in the clubs. Everything seems to be made with a powering and almost overwhelming nature. Strong hooks and riffs peak out and slide in with devastating effect while a vocal sample gets the twisted treatment. The breakdown gets very nasty as some serious noise builds up then drops out leaving jaws dropped. Add to the mix an assortment of effects, sounds and synths and you have one big ass club track. What You Want Here we get a little dirty with low thumping basslines and aggressive hooks which compliment a seriously perfect melody. Think of an old tinny organ sound and that’s what the melody consists of. Rolling synths assist in sweet breakdown goodness then drops in deeply with an almost haunting effect. While the flip side track achieves hard controlled beats, What You Want floods the senses with an edged, melodic house number.
