WALK THE EARTH / OUR FATE - JB & SPICE |
||
| Jb & Spice's latest release 'Walk the earth' & Our fate' is out now in all good record stores & on line stores. WALK THE EARTH: This track kicks off with a short eerie intro and devilish vocal 'I need to walk this earth again' before kicking straight in tosome quality drum and bass. Twisting melodic synth basses take the lead accompanied with heavy subs.The beats are well played and intricately programmed. The breakdown in the middle of the track twists the tune around even more before slamming back in and taking this baby home. OUR FATE: Our fate is a heavy rolling piece. Starting with crisp beats and sliding melody, it switches into a stabbing type build-up before dropping into a mighty energetic bassline. The key changes on the bass keep this tune in head nodding territory. The mid breakdown makes for interesting listening as it stabs and chops its way along before slam dunking you in to last half of the tune. click here to buy |
