Review: Having dropped his latest party bomb, Hate On Me, back in the Summer, Herve (aka Josh Harvey) breathes further life into the tune with some new remix action. Jaded eschew the campy gurrrl-friendly vibes of the original in favour of some prowling, moody bassline house (which also gets re-edited by Herve himself), while Skapes & SFX go for the jugular - delivering some prime retro speed garage with plenty of funky house garnish on top.
Review: UK producer Joshua Harvey draws on classic garage influences for this release. You won't find any trace of Todd Edwards' drums or New Jersey cool here. Instead, Herve looks to the genesis of UK garage for inspiration. The title track revolves around a swinging groove and a fathomic bassline, but the floaty vocals recall the female-friendly Twice as Nice zone. There are no such niceties on "Whistle"; underpinned by a raga baseline and virulent horror stabs, it has just as much in common as 'ardkore. Finally, "Pressure" sees Herve venture into deeper territory thanks to chiming chords, but the menacing subs serve as a reminder that things could get nasty at any turn.
Review: Cheap Thrills don Herve returns with "Better Than A BMX", an incendiary slice of club tackle with a memorable vocal and crunchy synth line that will see its momentum carry through well into the summer months. Complementing the original are three versions; a beefed up club vocal mix, a frenzied Sedat the Turkish Avenger remix and utterly mental dubstep tearout-meets-trance anthem version from Afghan Headspin which needs to be heard to be believed!
