Clyde – Roll of the Beast incl. Atjazz, Tim Scott and Christo Mixes
Roll of the Beast is Clyde’s reluctant incursion into the ‘protest song’, if you like, spawned simply from his frustration at the relentless bloodshed throughout the Middle East, exacerbated by the US, UK and Israel since the dawning of the new century. The particular event was a horrendous Israeli shelling of a Palestinian wedding party which can only have been ordered and executed by a force very close to the human perception of Satan, or ‘The Beast’.
The title was coined and the lyrical content satisfied. All that was remaining was for Clyde to formulate an equally stirring soundtrack. The original is a loose, live, infectiously catchy house monster with a gratifying slap bass-line sitting satisfyingly under an enticing, ‘stabby’ Rhodes hook. Clyde drops his own ill-tempered falsetto vocals on top, quite literally ‘getting it off his chest’.
Atjazz turns up the heat with one of his most impressive remixes to date. This tuff beauty ebbs towards the boundaries of the more broken side of house. Taking the baton with the original hook, he turns up the energy, taking it to the next level with live Rhodes, a remorseless beat, dressed with the superlative quality you’d expect from one of this mans productions.
Forward-looking and emerging talent, Christo, bestows two seriously dope mixes. His ‘So Much Bounce Remix’ transcends any of today’s pigeon holes, sitting in its own, deep, involving, head nodding kingdom. His vocal dub delves deeper, darker and Detroit-esque. Superb.
Liverpool’s Tim Scott (Sick Trumpet) supplies us with his ‘Roll of the Beats Remix’ and have no qualms, this is a Broken Beat tour de force, heavy on the bass.
