Description:
Amsterdam is the prolific, accomplished Bristol DJ/Way out West producer Nick Warren's fourth mix set for the Global Underground series. The 18th release in this highly successful series, Warren's Amsterdam set is even more progressive than his fantastic Prague, Brazil and Budapest offerings. CD 1 dispels any fears that he may descend into the formulaic by providing deep, dark dance-floor mayhem with various peaks, occasional vocals, precise percussion and tweaked synth waves. It begins softly with the minimal beats and tribal bass of Weekend World Present's "The World" and Ariane's slo-mo ambient "Eternity"
Amsterdam is the prolific, accomplished Bristol DJ/Way out West producer Nick Warren's fourth mix set for the Global Underground series. The 18th release in this highly successful series, Warren's Amsterdam set is even more progressive than his fantastic Prague, Brazil and Budapest offerings. CD 1 dispels any fears that he may descend into the formulaic by providing deep, dark dance-floor mayhem with various peaks, occasional vocals, precise percussion and tweaked synth waves. It begins softly with the minimal beats and tribal bass of Weekend World Present's "The World" and Ariane's slo-mo ambient "Eternity" before moving into incessant dance groove territory with Soul Mekanik's "I'll Call U" and his very own band's chugging vocal cut, "Intensify". Thereafter, Warren really lets fly with a mid-section that takes in the dirty funk of "Riddem Control" and the gorgeous chords and stuttering percussion of Fluke's hands-in-the-air anthem "Bullet (Cannonball)". CD 2 is ruggedly constructed, no-nonsense big-speaker trance that applies the "I'm Losing Control" hypnosis technique to everything. DJ Gogo's "Ajuna" begins with classic trance elements, a monster bass line and slowly building peaks before taking on a mashed up life of its own. Resistance is futile as he really begins to work your stereo with Futureshock's "Sparc", Nick Hook's majestic trance epic "Enhanced" and Revolt's "Dive Into The Deep". Then he reveals the ace in his pack with the blissed-out atmospherics and driving beat of Halo Vargas' "Future", a reverent, resonant and gloriously funky sweatbash. Amsterdam reveals true dance-floor knowledge with the minimal of fuss. For Warren, simplicity is the key, quality the result. --Felix 'Obi' Zuze
