DNCN – What Am I? {4four005}

Artist: DNCN
Title:
What Am I?
Label:
 4four
Catalog #:
4four005
Release Date:
2006/04/24


DNCN was birthed to the scene by whoring himself to netlabels and telling bands they needed his remixes for some ‘next level shit on the flip’ until someone decided his bar tab was too high and someone should maybe pay him to do some tracks because his tongue in cheek arrogance was not unjustified. And this release is no different, but he’s still not getting paid! Quirky, glitchy, itchy, scratchy, and other adjectives ending in ‘y’, these tracks are hectic yet melodic. Supported by a straight up techy remix by Paul Louth, which is a complement to the glitchiness, his remix builds layer upon layer of trancetastic pads.

After over a year in the wilderness Trey’s awesome tech-house stormers finally see the light of day. It’s been a real crime that these tracks have been buried for so long (although Trey freely admits he didn’t really try hard enough to get them signed). We now offer them to you in the hope that Trey finally gets the credit he deserves. For me the real stand out tracks are Slickboy and Backpeddling, the former a tech-house/electro crossover with a sublimely funky steppin’ b-line, the later being a lush prog-edged groover. That’s not to downplay the quality of the other tracks, I once dropped all five of these in a single set!
