Track Of The Day: Grant Dell & Gareth Oxby Presents Tribalation - Why Did You Do That? (Loaded)

There’s nothing like a good groove. And this track from Grant Dell & Gareth Oxby, from the turn of the century is low slung heaven incarnate. What I like about it is that it has all the swing of something more linear, but its drum pattern is anything but. Samples are well used and its got more layers than a mille-feuille. Tracks like this are having a renaissance at the moment, but they’ve always been present on a pervasive level for many DJs. Track length again is very important. It’s all about sustaining the mix. ‘Tribalation’ was a very apt moniker for these two, and I’m amazed that their tunes aren’t better known. Still, all it takes is the right person to have it id’d in their set.
