- Single number 3 for Full Intent follows directly from their second release, Give Me A Break with Bill Vega & New Decade's trademark brand of techy, atmospheric breaks. Running Scared sounds like it belongs on a soundtrack to an old sci-fi action thriller and is the first release on Full Intent to be remixed by outside producers.
Side A. Running Scared
Crunchy rolling breaks open up Running Scared and they have a noticeably old skool rave feel to them. Arpeggio string melodies and a warped bassline kick in giving the tune a futuristic, sci-fi feel, only to be helped out later by a lone female vocal sample which itself feels like it’s been sampled from a sci-fi flick. Thick in texture all the way throughout – it’s a bombardment of heavy bass, hard breaks (quite similar to Prophecy on their first 12”) and atmospheric synth lines – with a couple of clever breakdowns and build-ups in between. It’s a good track to keep momentum flowing in a set.
Side B. Running Scared (Big Square Sound vs RNA Remix)
BSS and RNA provide the first external remix for Full Intent and they take Running Scared and transform it into a storming breaks monster. Kicking things off with a heavy breakbeat, they slowly incorporate techy synths, a big bassline, an acid 303 line and include a male vocal sample to accompany the female vocals. After the first buildup, BSS and RNA turn the bass up to the point where the speakers will rumble and play with the filters to give it a nice wavy effect.
Awesome release - intelligent rolling tech breaks on one side and massive storming breaks and bass on the other.
