- Strangely, this decidedly American house cut has ended up on Reboot and Sascha Dive's From Frankfurt to Manheim mix, despite its creator, Tedd Patterson, being a 30 year veteran of the US electronic scene, and a resident at NYC's Cielo for the past three. Having spent a lifetime playing with the likes of Louis Vega and Frankie Knuckles, it's no wonder there's an underlying old school vibe throughout. Patterson isn't ignorant of newer sounds, however, as he brings it into the here and now with a little '00s glitch.
The original has a sort of booty shaking, ghetto tech edge that you'd be likely to find on a Jay Haze record: unresolved and persistent bass concertinas jerk up and down from start to finish. It's almost in the Reboot/Johnny D loopy techno fold, though their cuts are a little more free flowing and liquid, where the heart of this track is brash and inert, the only relief being a rippling chord which drips down from above.
On the B, little changes: There are slashing synth sweeps to start which stir a jittery tick into life, only for it to then percolate right to the end, adding a little gumption to the original's frigid jack. A searching, fluttery high line is the only other addition, keeping the track from being too austere but limiting it to dance floor tool status, rather than expanding it into any sort of essential selection.
