Mannel - Cruel Summer

  • Share
  • Luke Chable launches his very own imprint in Trojan Records with a release from Mannel in Cruel Summer, and it marks the beginning to a label with a very high potential seeing Luke is at the wheel. The 4am Mix is first up and it is quite a strong record to say the least. Chunky driving percussion helps kick things on early before the eerily intricate and very seductive vocal patterns come into the track and give it a very strong identity. The mood is very interesting as the vocals take over and as the name of the remix suggests, this track oozes of some late night peak time action especially as the sharp stabbing synth patterns come in. The Break Your Ass Dub turns the track into a sinister broken beat anthem using the killer vocal patterns as well as an absolutely storming baseline in the 2nd half of the track. The beats are lively and ever changing making this remix just as good as the awesome original mix. A quite stunning opening release to this very exciting new imprint and I’m sure the quality will continue to come from Trojan.
