- Segment continues to push fresh, uplifting prog sounds with the first instalment of the year coming from the teaming of House impresario Nick hook and Moussa Clarke aka Taifun.Both artists are no strangers to the limelight having impressive back catalogue of releases and chart successes in lengthy careers on the scene.
Fired gets two takes the first of which is the Letarno mix.Steve Finney grabs Kelia Phillipsz' original vocals and creates a peaky dose of beats around it,kicking off from the start with an energetic blend of contorting synth sound and steady percussive roll.The bassline is added,notching up the pace a little while the track begins to develop.More percussive elements are added before dropping out leaving just the vocal taking control of the mood,driving ahead and breaking once more before breaking again with a more broken groove.Nice.
Side B has a Nick Hook mix,dubbing down the mix with deep stabby basslines and less busy percussion using elongated eerie pads and delayed sounds to give it motion.Its effect is more subtle as by the end a blissful melody has crept in,finishing up on a high.
