- Next up on the mighty Cuba Recordings is another release from Rhythm Code with a release that one must say is quite superior to their recent release on the same label. Hypnotic Influence is the track, and it is quite a nice funky electro affair.
The Original Mix is quite a highlight in this release as it begins with some smooth drum patterns and a smooth rolling baseline. Soon enough the nice electro synth baseline wobbles come into the track accompanied by the dark vocal that gives it a bit of a creep feel. In total though, it is quite a funk fuelled production.
The Bangor’d & Mash’d mix follows and essentially it is an accapella of filtered synths, vocal effects and random touches.
On the flip is firstly Da Dub. Keeping the electro touches out of it, this track focuses on the deep baselines and vocal effects, as well as the nice crisp drum patterns. However, deep into the track, we see new elements emerge with a gritty electro edge introduced to spice things up. Not bad at all but not as jackin’ as the original.
The McKenn-apella follows which is another DJ tool that mostly uses the vocal as well as some eerie sounds and atmosphere.
Another pretty solid release from Cuba, with the a-side in particular through the Original mix providing the main highlight.
