Fatliners - Sky

  • Share
  • The latest platter to come out of DJ Hyper's Kilowatt stable is Sky by the Fatliners and has definitely been causing a storm in the breaks scene with it's tight rolling breaks and wicked Plump DJ's like production. Side A. Original Mix Quite similar to the Plump DJ's Big Groovy Fucker and even more so like Dominate by Soul Of Man is the original mix. Monotonic bassline with slight variations throughout and quick rolling breaks. Plenty of twisted and warped vocal stabs cut up on the top with a few techy tweaks - nice use of pitch variation as well! Definitely a peaktime tune to get the dancers on the floor. There's a nice beatless section toward the end where the bassline takes over for 8 bars then the beat gets slammed back in there. Side B. ILS Mix From the man who brought us 2002's breaks anthem, Next Level, ILS' version of Sky is on a slightly more percusssive tip with the tribal percussion and an eerie synth line added in. Slightly slower than the original side and on a more sinister tip. This one is for the end of a set and the props managers can turn on the smoke machine. After the awesome reception of Mind Of Your Own by Terminalhead, Kilowatt seem intent on pulling out the wickedest of the wicked breaks producers and this release is no different. Hard and pounding on one side and dark and tribal on the other! Look out for a new Terminalhead to be released soon.
