Route 66 - Gettoblaster & DJ Deeon (Hot Haus)


 

Title: Route 66 

Artist:  Gettoblaster & DJ Deeon

Label: Hot Haus

Cat Number: HOTHAUS058

Genre: Trackiness


01: Give It To Me

02: Knockin’

03: Route 66

04: Twerk It


What I like about this release is that although it bangs it out, it does so with finesse and reserve. This may seem counterintuitive, but it’s the style I like. There’s a control over the wonkiness which, although far from excessive, manages to thrive by emphasising the funk. This is the only way to stop this sound from being played out. That doesn’t mean startling originality though. ‘Twerk It’ you’ve heard a thousand times before, but have you heard it exactly in this way? No matter what the familiarity with these motifs, a fresh twist is always possible. And that’s the same with all the tracks here. The beats are given a new leash of life by means of a subtle tweak to unleash them on a suspecting public with superior production technique ensuring positive results.
