Agatha Rock'n'Roll Sampler - Meat Katie 'All I Need' / Extramode 'Solaris'

  • Share
  • Agatha is the name of a mixed CD compilation released by the crew at Mantra Vibes. It is inspired by a breakbeat night in Italy that has gathered a cult following, and this sampler takes two tracks from the CD that represent a taste of this fantastic night in Italy. On the a-side is the familiar Meat Katie with ’All I Need’. Expect the usual quality from Meat Katie in this track, with the trademark upbeat drumbeats and the deep and dubby baselines. The track builds nicely with a very low-end focus, until a cheeky vocal line midway into the track gives it a slight uplifting edge. The track breaksdown shortly after and roars back into action as only Meat Katie can deliver. Extramode deliver ’Solaris’ on the b-side. The track begins uniquely enough with a interesting effected male vocal and a eerie set of synths, and as the track builds, nice melodic tones work their way in and unite very well with the creepy synths and smooth baseline that exists under the beats. It is a very interesting production by Extramode, and that is quite a good thing in this instance. This is a very good taste of what you can expect in the mixed compilation of Agatha’s Rock N Roll. Expect sinister baselines and quality beats from one of the finest labels in the world at the moment.
