Track Of The Day: DJ Assassin - Face In The Crowd (Intellidread Mix) (Cross Section)


Chris Simmonds’ Cross Section label put out some proper bangers towards the end of the nineties, and this is one of them. DJ Assassin, who also made the superb ‘Jazz Journey’, has his ‘Face In The Crowd’ track stripped won and fleshed out. Reduced, if you will, to a pounding kick, a sub bass, a vocal and a dissonant buzz. That’s about it pop pickers; clarity is all though, as far as this interpretation is concerned and while the vocal might not be everyone’s cup of tea, in conjunction with the confrontational beats, it’s a winner.
