- After the success of Paul Hamill’s 2003 release on Alternative Route, the label has called upon his services yet again to supply a smooth House release in All I Want. It is packed with the Original mix as well as a Marty Goodwin mix, and the release has already been getting some solid support from the likes of Meat Katie, DJ Vibe and Parks & Wilson in particular.
The Original ‘Freedom Avenue’ Mix is a solid house cut. A pretty chunky 4/4 drum pattern is helped along with a solid baseline loop and smooth delicate sounds. A little vocal sample is used to good effect, but all in all this is a solid track that remains pretty similar throughout without losing its appeal.
The Marty Goodwin Mix is on the b-side, and it is a dark and dirty breaks interpretation of the original mix. The baseline is pure evil for the entire duration, and there are some smooth string patterns midway and deep into the production. It is clear to see why Meat Katie has licensed this for his upcoming Bedrock Breaks mix.
Another solid release from the ever-reliable Alternative Route stable, and good variation with a quality house and breaks production. The label sets to continue its run of good releases with Matthew Dekay & Alvredo supplying the next release with ‘Symbiosis’.
