Track Of The Day: Point Blank – A Game Of Two Halves (Phono)


It’s very apparent, if you know your onions, that the super taut, hydraulic break beats that characterise most of this 1 minute magnum opus are the work of Richard Brown and Chris Duckenfield, aka Swag. Sheffield’s finest, operating with punitive discretion on discerning dance floors for the last 30 years or so, never really put a foot wrong throughout their existence and seemed to have a preternatural ability to move the crowd across a wide sonic range unified under the auspices of H.O.U.S.E. The track hurtles full throttle into percussion perfection before a symphonic breakdown that evokes the mist settling on the English countryside as viewed at sunrise from a messy hoodoo hoedown, Then it retsrts with added funky entrails. REWIND!
