- Adam Routh & Pete Gooding team up under the moniker of Drax & Gooding to bring you this latest release on Harlem Records. 2 mixes of the track Harder are supplied and cater for the chunky end of the house spectrum.
The Original Mix is quite a nice unique piece of work. Essentially tribal in most parts, the drums are chunky and solid, however the track has quite a nice acid influence in it with the main acidic riff rolling for the duration of the track. As the vocal builds, so do the sounds in the track, with acid hooks and synth stabs increasing the intensity of the track in certain parts.
The Remix on the flip is slightly tougher. The baselines increase and the sounds get a little tougher and edgier. The vocal is cut up for the most part and then comes into full effect midway in, and at this time the track starts to gather in pace, with the chunky baseline, melodic touches and drum work all uniting in great harmony. A quality up beat remix here on the flip.
Not a bad release by the duo, and a pretty impressive release for the tribal based label.
