Manuel Neztic - Kickin Down

  • Share
  • Mob records has established itself as the purveyor of international breakbeat with releases coming not only from the UK but also from the USA, Australia, Hong Kong, Italy, Spain and Sri Lanka. The latest release from the label comes from Manuel Neztic from Mexico who drops off a neat party rocker on Mob's doorstep - continuing the international flavour comes Rico Tubbs from Finland who gets roped in for remix duties. The Original version starts off with a Fatboy Slimish style big beat which sounds like it's been crossed over with Rennie's unforgettable break from his remix of Zero's Emit (especially noticable towards the end) and it's not long before the funky disco guitars and fartlike bassline kick in accompanied by a soulful female vocal sample that makes you say "Oh Mama!". There's a busy backdrop of subtle horns and buzzing tech sweeps which make this tune sound very full. Rico Tubbs' Remix on the other hand takes the form of a b-boy electro rocker as he beefs up the horn sample and disco guitar riff at the beginning. Rico then incorporates an electro flavoured synth hook and plays around with the female vocal sample. For those who have heard his remix of SOTO's Ghetto Blast Ya, which hasn't been released yet, will be able to hear Rico's trademark production and steppy break.
