King Roc - The Tip

  • Share
  • King Roc is certainly making a name for himself in 2006. After a very impressive 2005 he is establishing himself as one of the best new talents in the UK. Coming out on the Tom Neville's Love Minus Zero label, King Roc does what he does best with 'The Tip'. The track starts well, immediately hitting you with a driving bass beat before incandescently dropping a very unexpected piano key. This is then perfectly complimented with a funky string sound. Just as you start to think where is this going to lead, King Roc kicks in his trademark electro tones and get this baby right on course. The electro grind continues in a very fat way before dropping away allowing the piano and strings to take over. It is this half way mark where the tune really grabs me, fading back the piano and strings before kick in with a thumping bass line and electro mayhem. Once again the standard of production shows why King Roc is really carving his own niche. Perfect tune to drop in the middle of a main room set. On the flip side of this sees Tom Neville step to the plate and mix it up for his good buddy. I am not sure if the competitive juices were flowing here as one was trying to out do the other, but Tom really nails this remix. With a slightly darker and bouncer bass Tom pushes the electro edge that little bit further with great success. Again the tune drops away nicely in the middle as the piano and strings feature prominently, this then builds at a perfect tempo and crescendos' with a heavier more electronic bass ..nice! Overall another very impressive release from King Roc and a cracking remix from Tom Neville. The production is top quality and to be honest what you would expect from two men who are in top form
