01: Wanting You
02: Wanting You (Iteration X Distant Relative Mix)
In spite of the artists behind this release I’m loathe to label it tech house. Whoever first came up with that category summed it up perfectly. However, because of journalistic laziness and a lack of imagination, it’s since become a negative stereotype. Anyway, this is not a new release, hailing originally from the golden age of heads down, no nonsense sarf London warehouse shape throwing of the turn of the century. “Going for silly prices on Discogs” as many of them are right now, there’s still a vibrant market for this stuff mainly due to its fluid funkiness and druggy overtones. That’s why I’d buy it anyway. The original version is a linearly structured deep house track with dubby overtones, of which disembodied voices are present and correct, and I’m back dancing in Happy Jax at the tail end of 1997 as soon as it starts. I always felt that most of these releases were pitched up a bit too much, but this feels just right. I mean it’s a functional piece of music with one aim in mind, to recreate a transcendent dance floor experience. The ‘Iteration X Distant Relative Mix’ toughens the percussion up and turns the tune into a chiasmic stomp. Energy to burn and top vibes innit.
