Track Of The Day: Elastic Reality - Cassa De X (Deep Dish Does X) (Tribal)


Well, this one works on so many levels. Coming from a similar direction as ‘The Dream (Sharam’s Deep Dish Dreamscape)’, but much more laid back, it’s no surprise to learn that both tracks are Brian Transeau (BT)/Deep Dish collaborations. Thte track can afford a long, drawn out teasing intro, the genius of which is you just know it’s going to let loose at some point. From then on it’s a combination of batacuda percussion, strategically dropped Rhodes keys and some devilish phasing. And the fact that “ecstasy” can be spoken at random points throughout and not sound in the slightest bit cheesy, but like the most meaningful thing ever says it all. They really don’t make them like this anymore. A track that could be played at any point in the night, in a sweaty warehouse, or a tropical beach party, and conjure up the most positive imagery imaginable has to be one of the greatest of its kind. This is that track.
