Track Of The Day: Chiapet - Tick Tock (War Of The Worlds Mix) (Yoshi Toshi)


One of the bangers, for want of a better word, from the end of the 20th century. Chiapet, aka John Ciafone of Mood ll Swing, took the famed house music duo’s Basic Channel influenced sound off in a dubbier, darker direction. This is one of two mixes on the release, the other being the more stripped down ‘Apocalypse Now’ mix. This version gets the nod over that one, however, by virtue of its fuller sound and undulating, wobble board riddims. It has to be heard out (like everything) to reach its full potential. Preferably on drugs, on a crowded dance floor with a nice crowd, as there is the possibility that one could have feelings of paranoia in the wrong company. Oh, and did I mention that it was a big Wiggle fave? Of course I didn’t, but I just did, so that’s nice.
