    [review] Sol_Dat – Speed Demon [Bass Gun Records]

    Well well well. Fresh release from Paul Blackford and Smashback’s electro / UK bass label Bass Gun and up on production duties is Sol_Dat with a crew of remixers.

    Sol_Dat – Speed Demon
    Junglist electro with a kicking acid b-line With beats sounding like their from a drummer rather than a machine. The main drop takes it up a couple of notches and it powers it’s way out and about. Great stuff.

    Sol_Dat – Speed Demon (DJ Cutlass Supreme Remix)
    Jacking, stripped beats and a big rolling bassline gradually adding more electro elements. Krunky offerings with a head nodding melodic bassline. This track is just begging for a skanking filthy acapella.

    Sol_Dat – Speed Demon (Mazzula Remix)
    B-boy drums leading into a whobbed sub before the dark electro b-line comes rasping out. Great track this, with a fresh and peakfloor feel with the main section and breakdown. Consider me a fan of Mazzula.

    Sol_Dat – Speed Demon (Teutonic Kaboom Remix)
    Dark, glitched out fragile distortion encapsulates that bassline of the original with a fat wide extra bassline kicking it out on top. This remix has a feel of an old Jungle wobbler, or some breaky garage with that old skool 2nd bassline.
