Kevin Freeman - Atomic Funk

  • Share
  • Kevin Freeman serves up a slightly delicious mix of tech-house meets tribal with this three mix release from Coxy's 23rd Century records. The Original mix has a meaty groove with pulsating sub-bass and tribal percussion creating an energy from the start. This is turned into a funkiness as the combination of jacked up rhythms, vocal sample exclaiming "Atomic Funk" and subtle melody creeps out from added tribal elements. The More|See dub slides into a housier box with rumbling rez'd bassline, angry stabby synths along with contrasting rhythms that give it a neat swing . This is made a little sweeter as underneath tweaked vocal cuts add anther edge to what is a simple idea. Last up is The More|Hear dub which shifts it into an electro fused take with a 2/4 beat keeping up the pace as zippy synth sounds carve out an aggressive mood which closes the door on this release nicely.
