- Showing off a new attitude towards making breakbeats is Recap on this release. Coming off on a more tech-breaks tip and a little Miami bass (I did say a little) thrown into the mix, Recap pulls off an interesting release.
Side A. In Search Of Something Different
In a similar vein to efforts by US breaks DJ Icey, this track has a nice West Coast breaks intro, complete with some vocal samples and a high pitched bassline. In fact the bassline gets a lot of pitch put into it as it gets tossed up and down the pitch spectrum - quite simply, it's a melodic bass line. However it does sound a little weird and it would be interesting to see a dancefloor reaction to this.
Side B. Breakbeat Me
Leaning a little closer towards Miami bass is this B-side with a very unusual bassline. If you have ever used a CD turntable with a jog disc on top, and experimented with the JET effect, the bassline sounds similar to that. An arpeggio synth line kicks in shortly afterwards, and the aggressive feel of this track is lost to some tech elements. Sorry to say, but this does get a little wanky and could have sounded better without the synth elements. Simplicity is always good.
