One of many tracks that Jay Tripwire has made over the years, and also one that perhaps typifies more than most a very particular era in house music. This tribal sound, imported mainly from the west coast of America, was everywhere around 25 years ago. You do have to wade through the tech house marshes to extract the good stuff however. So many labels and artists, but maybe only a handful were producing this sound with any real flair. It was absolutely huge in clubs like Wiggle and its various offshoots, and is having its day again. I guess the essence of it is fusing tribal percussion with dub and a thick low end. There are plenty of mutations though. Anyway, this is a lovely piece of work so get the drugs out and throw some shapes.
