- If you haven't checked out G.Pal contra Anna Maria X - Back 2 Back Sessions Vol.1 it's well worth a listen, building as a club set would and progressing with a constant energy from start to finish. Featuring tracks from some well known names and a few new faces, this latest 12 inch release from Swift includes more upfront tracks taken from the compilation.
On the A-side is B.I.G. – Carpe Diem, one of the standout tracks on the mix. Tight beats and a peaky mix of emotive sounds set the pace, as piece-by-piece parts intertwine, all made sweeter with the use of ethnic vocals. The mood swells up and sits back into proceedings throughout, with elements coming to the fore, breaking with a complete sense of serenity. Bliss!
Plastique Vision & MOS feat. Julie Amadeo – Fuel to the Fire is on the flip side, concocting an energetic vibe with almost techy percussion setting the pace. Deep stabs creep in along with a grinding synth hit before the melody draws you into an insatiable groove. Parts develop further with the introduction of the vocal, hitting off each other and breaking in a series of strip backs before powering ahead again with intense purpose.
A tasty edition to any prog-flavoured set.
