- After some very impressive releases over the past few years Tim Healey aka Electric Tease is fairly on the ball when it comes to production. With ‘Let’s Rock’ doing big things in Japan on Solistice Music early 2002 and ‘Your Lovin' in 2001 on AR which featured a 16B remix and inclusion on John Digweed’s GU:019 there is definitely much more to come from this relatively well known producer. Electric Tease’s latest project on Automatic Recordings is 'Limbo' and features two version of musical goodness.
Side A – Limbo (Original Mix)
A slight intro begins and warms you up for the great vocal sample, by a New Jersey based gangster which takes the lines of “You didn’t go to hell, you went to purgatory, my friend” and is used initially to break you into to ‘Limbo’. This great sample is used once more, later in the track in conjunction with a fairly massive breakdown point. The bass-line is coupled with some very drawn out horns and bongo beats that are guaranteed to get asses out of seats. The beats grow in a deep funky kind of way until a crazy stretched out synth takes over and eventually leads you to the massive breakdown and then back to the full force of the original mix of ‘Limbo’.
Side B – Limbo (Metta & JT Love’s Remix)
On the flip is the Metta & JT Love’s take on Tim’s ‘Limbo’ and initially you will be handed a much rougher deeper bass-line. It has a very phat electronic feel and is a very minimal yet powerful abstract version of the original. Although this mix lacks most of the major components that make up the original it is a great release and its huge simple electronic sounds will surely been making their way to club sets around the world. As the second side of this release comes to an end you will find your feet tapping away and really want to get your hands on more.
Both of these mixes are great, and are completely different in the way they would be utilised in a club set. But keep your ear out for ‘Limbo’ as it will definitely be interesting to see where it gets picked up in the next few months.
