- Following the very brilliant Pat Foosheen release, Aussie label EQ Grey turn up the heat with the latest release from Accorsi & Bassetti entitled Until the End. It featured on the latest Global Underground release from Deep Dish, and for good reason, as it is a solid release from the US boys.
The Original Mix is on the a-side, and it begins with some stuttering tribal drums alongside a heavy kick drum. The track soon builds with some subtle effects coming into play alongside a very subtle vocal sample. The baseline enters soon enough and it gives the production more drive, as do the nice melodic effects that soon gain in strength. The track breaksdown midway and sees sounds and melodies filter through the air. The beats are soon re-introduced as the track then builds down with the baseline playing a major role.
On the flip is the Long Flight Mix. This mix takes a more minimal approach as the major focus is put on the percussion side of things. The arrangement is quite similar, however, the focus on sounds and atmosphere is somewhat lost in this remix. The vocal gives the track a nice eerie feel throughout though which works quite well.
Another stellar release from EQ, and with releases such as Scrambler’s ‘Free’ including a killer Lo Step remix to follow, the label seems to be in tip top shape.
