Following on from their massive Hardware debut track Inception, we welcome back
to the ranks the destructive pairing of Optiv & BTK for their own single release
- Blindstruck, teaming up with the vocal presence of Hardware affiliated MC Fokus an
explosive concoction is delivered.
The lead track Blindstruck gets straight to the point. A pure, no nonsense bassline
roll out. Keeping the elements sparse and concise to allow a thick sub bass to
emerge and evolve, underpinned by a stepping minimal groove. A track with real cross
over credentials easily finding favour in a diverse selection of DJ's sets already
from Marky and Break through to Raiden and Vicious Circle.
For the 2nd track we journey into slightly darker territory with Scientist. Initiated
with distinct and ominous old skool pads, which set the mood. The vibe is quickly
updated with cut up vox provided by Fokus, which develops the track further in preparation
for the drop, which unleashes contorting tech reeces, and razor sharp, chiselled drums.
Another killer but with a darker edge.
The full release is scheduled to drop on 26th September on 12" and digital download.
