- Bassetti is still a relatively young producer in his early 20's, and with about half a dozen productions already seeing release, he is moving onto veteran status in his young years already. Seeing releases on labels such as Grounded, Sondos, Progress Inn and Chug, Bassetti returns this time to Australian label EQ Grey with 'Burning Dirt', and brings along with him a very tasty remix by West Philly boys Tigerhook Corp.
On the A-side is the Original Mix. From the outset I will say that this is a slightly disappointing production. The track maintains a very similar pattern throughout, and despite some nicely arranged drum patterns, the production is a little too monotonous. There is a slightly interesting breakdown midway that introduces some nice effects but all in all it’s a little disappointing from a producer who has released some high quality material in the past.
On the flip is a remix by the very impressive Tigerhook’s Burning Chron Mix. From the outset, the drum patterns are more unique than the original. Little vocal snippets float in and out early in the track, but as the kick goes out midway into the track, it returns with a nicely developed baseline that gives the production a nice little edge. The production builds into a fusion of fantastic drum patterns as a nice loop of effects also adds an interesting twist into the remix deep into the track.
All in all it’s a release saving remix from Tigerhook that deserves a lot of credit. They demonstrate their ability to turn a somewhat direction lacking production into an interesting fusion of sounds. Worth a look for this reason alone.
