REVIEW

'Mania', the debut teaming of Gayle San and Elektrax Recordings, is a release full to the brim with dance floor goodness.

From Gayle's original work, a bass driven thumper that wraps filtered synth stabs around an absolutley slammin' kick drum to deliver tough funk, to DJ Hi-Shock's remix who takes the journey deeper underground through re-working the stabs and sub-bass into electro-tech madness full of depth, energy, hard grooves and tribal, minimalistic rhythms.

Closing out the release is the DJ Warp remix, an artist Gayle herself has grown to appreciate over the last 6-12 months. The Warp remix is delivered on a semi-house tip with clever filtering of synth lines that resemble filtered out disco guitars and a toned down kick with funky hi-hats.

'Mania', like the name suggests, will send the floor into a dance frenzy.

  6. Love the rolling bass on DJ Hi-Shock remix..nice bottom end and good use of those filtered synth stabs. A real club thumper.

  7. That subtle initial groove of the DJ Hi-Shock remix is a killer…it has a very latino/south American feel in its early stages (culturally music speaking not dance music speaking)…The rolling toms/drumwork near the outs is also superb

  8. DJ Hi-Shock remix is big, I’d go so far as to say GRAND. Very, very cool – shades of old school Detroit, restrained moments of Planetary Assault Systems and mid ’90s Dave Clarke (the classic time), but very contemporary. The groove is an absolute killer.
