Mark Knight & Adrian Hour – Get Down

Now here is something fresh from the governor over at Toolroom Records, Mark Knight has teamed up with Adrian Hour to produce a new two track EP. For this review, we are going to talk specifically about the track ‘Get Down’ instead of the EP title track ‘Suzee’. As much as I like the track Suzee, I absolutely love every part of Get Down and feel that I need to feature it here.

So, lets go through the elements that make this track so good, starting with the bass. The bassline has an amazing bouncy techno feel to it which instantly makes it accessible to any tech house or techno dj set. It’s deep, it’s dirty, and I love it. Secondly we’ll talk about the vocal, well we have all heard that vocal snippet before from Loleatta Holloway. In this track they have taken the perfect top line; and repeated it! As simple as it is, it just works! And the final element I want to mention is that snare! Throughout the track there features an offbeat snare pattern which filters in and out, I love the way it sticks about in the track after the main drop. It kinda reminds me of Nicky Romero’s remix of Flash by Green Velvet.

Whatever way you look at it, this track is a dancefloor weapon! I first spotted this on a Facebook video posted by Adrian Hour about a month ago, and I’ve been hunting it down ever since!

Now I have it, I’m a happy man! It’s available now, grab your copy..
