- It is pretty safe to say that Tony Thomas has been a pretty consistant producer over the years. You can really always expect good quality chugging house from Tony and with this release on Hypnotic nothing much has changed as he delivers two more solid house cuts.
First up on the a-side is Shifter. Solid chunky tribal drums begin the proceedings as the track flows quite solidly for the first few minutes, especially with the introduction of the very smooth baseline. Nice light crisp effects stutter in the foreground as the track rolls on, and they help give the track a nice overall aura. The track remains pretty solid throughout without any real dips and leaps.
The drums get noticeably crisper in Sun Dreamer on the flip. Again quite smooth, the track makes good use of intricate sounds and drum loops that work well with the bouncing melody and the very subtle talking vocals in the background.
Overall this is quite a nice release by Tony Thomas, with two very techy but solid house tracks on display.
