- Following the impressive Dream Traveller release on Fade is label manager Chris Fortier with his summer anthems Whateveritis and Whateverisleft. Chris is really staring to make his impace in the production front after his fine effort with Losing Wait. This is no different.
On the a-side is ’Whateveritis’. From the word go this production has lots of energy with some intense beat structure. The track continually builds, first with some nice and not too over the top driving synths and a subtle vocal sample. The baseline then enters and takes it a step up accompanied with another subtle element in the piano line. The track builds until the breakdown, where a melodic string accompanies the lovely sounds and effects, combined with the chunky baseline. As the track hits its peak, the piano melody changes tone to nice effect. Another solid work from Mr. Fortier.
On the flip is ’Whateverisleft’. In essence, this is a toned down mix of the a-side, but rather then just a dub, it has different elements that make this quite unique in itself. The drums are very similar but the baseline is more electro sounding. The melodies are used a lot earlier in this mix than in the flip plus the track has a more continuous arrangement. Quite a good change in direction with this version.
Another release with solid production on each side. Getting big airplay already from the big DJ's, this record is sure to get noticed.
