Influenza – Panic Room

  • Share
  • Next up on Electrofly, who I must confess have been pretty solid lately, is a release by Influenza with their track entitled Panic Room. Alongside the Original mix comes a remix from Transformer Man, who’s release on Re:connect in 2003 was a solid outing for the chunky breakbeat master. The Original Mix is quite a minimal breakbeat in production, by that there are no real obvious sounds or hook that grab you. There is pretty solid baseline that lurks below the production for the most part, and the drums are pretty active throughout. In terms of arrangement there is a hefty breakdown midway that sees some twists in the effects as well as some slight atmospheric elements. The Transformer Man Mix on the b-side is indeed quite sturdy in the chunky department. Pretty solid breakbeat drums are surrounding by deep analogue baselines that give the track a pretty meaty outlook. An electro synth pattern runs rife throughout the production, playing a major role in the track after the intro of the first few minutes. All in all though, the track flows quite nicely and has the tough baseline edge you come to expect from Transformer Man. Not a bad release by Electrofly, with Transformer Man’s remix probably edging it between the two.
