Following on from a great start to the year with releases from Mendo & Danny Serrano and Yousef, Saved now presents their latest offering, an EP from Santos. Support by: Eric Prydz, John Digweed, Danny Howells, James Zabiela, Sasha, Laurent Garnier, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Sander Kleinenberg to name but a few, over 200 DJs in all.
First up on the A-Side is "Rom Controll". From the top the track grooves along nicely with the bubbling lead sound introduced slowly working its way through the percussion and bass. As it builds into the forefront of the track, so do the hats as they begin to shuffle and along with additional fx twisting their way into the track, it creates the perfect build-up.
When the breakdown arrives, the lead line and fx pull the track into a frenzy in unison with the hats, until the drums kick straight back in creating an incredible drop.
On the flipside is "Metal Boogaloo". Opening much more stripped-down than "Rom Controll" the track has a fresh feel with the combination of pounding kicks and deep, djembe like drums. The track progresses with well-programmed additional drum layers and the fx stabs weave in and develop creatively into the lead sound which is incredibly raw to great effect. Midway the track drops to the stripped-down loop that it started with and begins to get even more creative with extra fx stabs and rolling snare hits. The beats then drop out as the track roars with effective distortion and the spaced fx sounds until they return which will create further dance floor damage.
