Plump DJs - Get Kinky/Pressure

  • Share
  • Following on from their crowd pleasing Soul Vibrates/Bullet Train, from which Bullet Train saw itself included in Soul Of man's Y4K mix and the soon to be released Chew The Fat! compilation on Fat Records, the Plump DJ's return for 2005 with two dancefloor destroying monsters. Side A. Get Kinky Keeping to the tradition of Plump DJ's production, this tune makes use of a hard hitting break featuring loud smashing snares and razor sharp hi hats - with an awesome use of drum fills and clever buildups throughout as well. Taking care of the lower frequencies is a freaked out acid bass line, combined with signature Plump squeaks (and bleeps!), synth stabs and "can we get kinky toniiiight!" vocal stabs. If the Plump's were to do their take on the sounds of the Crystal Method during their Vegas era, this would probably be it - stadium rocking West Coast breakbeat with tinges of electro throughout. Side AA. Pressure Pressure is a noisier effort designed to fill the room and cements this fact by opening up with a eardrum piercing tone during the first beatdrop. This is a dirtier affair, featuring a menacing and rumbling bassline, a chopped up vocal lick, plenty of techy stabs and hoovers and that piercing tone from the beginning. The main beatdrop which occurs halfway through the tune sounds like an 80s computer game on speed as it speeds through a computer generated sample lifted off an old "Defender" cartridge. I found this less appealing to Get Kinky as it is really noisy.
