Label: Tinrib Digital
Format: CD-R
Genre: Hard House
After a brief hiatus, the good fellows at Tinrib have returned, fresh with a new Digital label, and hell bent on pounding the fuck out of everything they can. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
First things first. This is a Hard House tune. A proper hard house tune mind, none of this tech malarkey, oh no. Whilst I wasn’t really a fan of Tinrib the vinyl label, mostly because it all seemed to come from a bygone era (yes I did used to mix Hard House) I do like this record.
Whilst it is a very simple tune at heart, everything is done well. The bass line fades in instead of dropping, which is a very nice touch for a hard house tune, meaning thought is actually required about at what point to mix. The track is based around a vocal sample of Chris Rock, supported by a very acidy sounding main riff (which sounds distorted to fuck and absolutely wicked).
Whilst basic though it still manages to sound good and, most of all, decidedly banging.
I can see this being a crowd favourite, mainly because of the subject matter of the vocal (it’s basically Chris Rock having a rant about legalising drugs).
One nice touch is that you can buy this either at 145 bpm or 150 bpm, depending of what class of nutter you are (me personally would always go for the 150 bpm mix).
There are two mixes here (apparently) but there is very little in the way of differences, except one has a more trance based riff sound to begin with, compared to the others acid based sound. This is the one thing that I wasn’t impressed with, but assuming you’re only going to buy one mix of this then you’ll be fine. A bit lazy maybe, but who knew?
7/10
