BETA 019 - JOHN B - RED SKY (feat. Shaz Sparks) - MP3
[BETA019B] | £0.90
 

John B’s first solo single since last year’s critically acclaimed electro drum & bass album “Electrostep”.

“Electrostep is quite simply the most breathtakingly personal album by a drum & bass artist since New Forms.” Knowledge

“If you buy one drum & bass album this year, make it this” – Album of the month, iDJ “If only all D&B albums were like this” DJ Magazine

“Mr. Freud” has already had 160,000 plays on John B’s Myspace player, and is John B back at his best, fusing hard D&B beats with luxurious trancey strings, a heavy electrohouse-influencd B-line, and sleazy electroclash-style vocals & roboVocoders. It’s a dirty beast, a stand-out electrohouse-meets-D&B anthem, refreshingly different and another John B-designed genre-busting new direction for D&B.

“Red Sky” brings John back to the epic “Trance & Bass” style he pioneered with hits like “Up all Night” & “Electrofreek!” but with an updated production style for 2008. Shaz Sparks’ beautiful vocals compliment the fluid, euphoric trance textures. Grand piano & huge anthemic pads that Armin Van Buuren would be proud of are contrasted by a monstrous, grimey racecar reese bassline and heavy neurofunk groove, still smashing it in a DJ-friendly Drum&Bass framework.
