Here’s something by a huge artist and released on probably one of my favourite labels at the moment. Out now on Suara Records is this big four-track EP from Sonny Fodera.
We’ll kick things off by talking about the original mix of the title track ‘Can’t Deny’, featuring the vocals of Taliwa, this is an absolute powerhouse of a tune! As you may have noticed, I featured this track in my April edition on the phuk podcast. The track has an absolute monster deep bass pattern sitting under the main vocals and some big deep sketchy drums, this is my favourite of the EP and I can’t wait to play it out. The first of the two remixes of this track is by Leftwing & Kody, well as said in previous reviews, these boys are absolutely having it at the moment. In this remix they have incorporated a huge bass pattern with a slight acidy edge and a strange sounding warpy synth, I have definitely heard that sound before but can’t place it! The vocal is placed perfectly along with some other light and airy synths and some punchy drums, great remix. Next up is the Harvard Bass remix of Can’t Deny, this version is more of a deep, techy remix with 3-note sub-bass pattern sitting under some very minimal drums and offbeat hits as well as a male talking vocal cut up over the top. Eventually the bassline filters up into an acid sawtooth and a ride cymbal carries the track through and adds a nice big element to it.
The other track on this EP is called ‘It’s Like That’ and it is absolute quality! The breakdown has a robotic deep voice quoting the title over some airy synths and a few snares, this then builds into a deep bassline drop which would send a dancefloor crazy, guaranteed!
