I was hoping for an Art Department track that I wouldn’t list on my Top Tunes blog, but oh no, this is another cracker – you know the score by now, deep rumbling bass-lines, slow house feel with male vocals drawling on in a slightly depressive way.
This is unmistakably Art Department, with the slow house groove and almost a romantic tale, not quite so gothic, and still individual. I continue to be very impressed with this production duo.
You’ve probably heard many like this by now if you have been following my blog, but it is good. Typical sounds of Jamie Jones fused with the typical sounds of Art Department, the whole slightly gothic and slowed down deep bass house sound, with repeated male vocals.
Art Department with Seth Troxler on the vocals? I didn’t even need to listen this to know I would list it as a top tune. Am I getting carried away with the hype? This is typically slow and dark and quite spooky, plenty of vocals. Very nice.
This is much more gentle than their other tracks, a nice vocal house track. I much prefer Without You though! Really hope to see Art Department at some point in 2011.
Even Jamie Jones cannot improve this track but as the original was my favourite tune of 2010 by quite some way despite how much amazing music there was, then that is no bad thing. This remix is only 5 minutes long (though I’m not convinced this is a full recording on Youtube) but still very good and distinctive enough from the amazing original.
I cannot believe that I have not posted this. This is without doubt the tune of the year and I knew it was when I first heard it on a Jamie Jones mix. So dark, so creepy, fantastic vocals, amazing bassline, it just ticks every single box and I could listen to this over and over. Cannot recommend enough.
