Die – Clear Skyz (Break Rmx) / Die & Break – Get Some
Originally released on Full Cycle in 1999, Die’s Clear Skyz was classic Bristol funk, a simple but effective combination of rolling breaks and a hypnotic bassline lifted this classic track to anthem status and is still a firm favourite in dj’s sets all over the world. Now ten years on and with Die’s aptly named Clear Skyz imprint in full flow the time seems right for an update and what better producer to tackle this sensitive task than the mighty Break. Keeping that mammoth bass riff intact and concentrating more on getting the track up to date, Break pulls it off with ease – the drums are punchy, the bass thunderous but it’s the little production touches and edits, that have almost become this producers trademark sound, that really make this remix shine through. On the flip, the guys get together for a brand new collaboration – Get Some is a funky little number, comprising of bluesy vocals, jazzy atmospherics and a bubbling bassline that has more than enough weight to damage those dance floors. Essential! Released on both limited Picture Disc and black vinyl.
