Flashpoint - Birth Of Smurf

  • Share
  • Mainly a progressive house label, Sinister Recordings fourth release sees them going into the breaks side of the music spectrum, probably due to the quality of Future Funk Squad's remix of Big Head's Dark Side Of The Peace. Side A. Original Mix This sounds quite similar to the Plump DJ's remix of Orbital's Funny Break (One Is Enough), especially with the rim taps on the top being hit on the upbeat. This is a post climactic tune - uptempo, chargey but leaning slightly toward the techy, atmospheric side of breaks made possibly by the sweeping sunth stabs throughout. Side B. Big Head's Gargamel Remix Big Head's remix on the flip goes back to the dark progressive that Sinister have been known for in the first three releases. Thudding bass drums and Big Head have kept the synth stabs that made the original. Just like in the cartoon, Big Head's Gargamel remix has turned the Smurfs into gold.
