Ridiculoud 008- DiiSTORTiiON - Taken - DiiSTORTiiON - Taken - DiiSTORTiiON - Taken (Llupa's Liberation Remix) - DiiSTORTiiON - Taken (Ghettface Remix)
Part two of DiiSTORTiiON's debut with Ridiculoud is a dark, driving, and floor-burning original. 'Taken' employs a fierce bassline that drives the track with trippy synths and a haunting vocal sample. On the first remix, Ghettface returns once again with big drums, screaming synths, and high powered edits - this one is for those peaktime moments! Finally, Llupa joins the Ridiculoud roster with an epic, rolling progressive masterpiece for the last remix. Crafting his own melody to complement the dark atmosphere of the original, this one is the perfect beginning for any set!
FEEDBACK
Mr. No Hands (Mixmag) - “The Ghettface remix is slammmmin!”
Daniella Downs (Dead Famous) - “Llupa is like my Australian bastard stepchild. He's come along leaps and bounds over the years, and while he's still hit or miss sometimes, it's generally a hit, and I think he continues to get better and better.”
Sam Hell (Broken Robot/Mofo) - “Another corker of a release for you guys. Love the original, really reminds me of early Dylan Rhymes stuff! Nice work!”
Duane Barry (Digital Sensation UK) - “What can I say, I love both the remixes. The Ghettface remix is trademark with its classic twisted synths, and I love Llupa's deep, more progressive take with its spacey synths and solid groove. Full support from me!”
Triple Agent (Broken Robot) - “Wicked release! All three tunes are top, but my favorite of the bunch is the Ghettface remix.”
Plaza De Funk (West Records/Brighton Breaks) - “Liking the original mix!”
Home Alone (Dead Famous/Ridiculoud) - “Awesome release. Really liking the original and the remixes. Not a big fan of the vocal sample, but it still works well. My pick is Llupa's remix - superb!”
LuQas (Dead Famous) - “All three mixes are cool. Hard to pick a fave, but might have to plump for the Ghettface as I'm not 100% convinced by the riff used in the other two.”
Lee Martin (Dusted Breaks) - “Llupa remix all the way here!! Full Support.”
Kickflip (Breakin Even) - “Distorted rocky vibes of the Ghettface remix doing it here!”
Karton (Sound Of Habib) - “Really like what Llupa has done here - nice package all round.”
Steve Maccabe (VIM) - “The Llupa remix is my favorite of the three and the one I would most likely play out. But both the original and Ghettface remix are banging tracks as well. Great bassline in the original! Really good package again from your label, great stuff.”
Mobius (Ape Music) - “The original mix is my favorite of the three here, reminds me of the good old days of labels like Lot49. Llupa’s remix is quite a nice, chilled take on the tune as well.”
Bill Vega (Downbeat/Badbwoy Bass) - “Going with the Ghettface remix, excellent stuff. Great film Taken!! Liking Llupa’s remix and the original also, but Ghettface tops the three in my opinion - 8/10”
EK (Dead Famous) - “Liking Llupa's remix and what he has done with it.”
Retroid (Morphosis) - “Llupa’s remix is my pick but nice release overall!”
Vital Substance (Breakin Even) - “I’m all over the Llupa remix...diggin the progressive feel and nice deep bass.”
Far Too Loud (Funkatech) - “Llupa’s remix has a really nice groove to it. A bit proggy for a lot of my sets these days, but definitely one to keep in the wallet.”
Burjuy (Breaks Review Show) - “This release is AWESOME!!!!”
