Shallow Taxi Club - Flashback
Sometimes you need to sack the subtle and mainline a shot of pure four-to-the-floor adrenaline. Sometimes you need an anthem. Well, hello Flashback. Not so much embracing the 90s garage resurgence as bending it over a table and knocking it up, Shallow Taxi Club goes for the jugular with dynamic drums and a tripped-out arpeggio before a monster Haven't-I-Heard-This-Before piano line and rousing vocals signal dancefloor delirium. Monster.
Mark My Words (Monkey Boots Mix)
Hey, hey they're the Monkeys, but there's no monkeying about. The Boots boys hit the spot straight up on their first remix commission with an edgy, epic take on the original. Built on a rock-solid groove, this is the sound of very late-night deep disco dancefloors. Gone is the original vocal and the guitar solo, replaced - at first - with fluttering synth chords and an automated, arpeggiated analogue line. Then a breakdown, a breath or two and . filtered delirium. The guitar loop is augmented by the return of the arpeggios and nagging, stabbing chords. A new vocal lifts things even further before a twinkling organ motif, trippy effects and spacey chords send everyone home happy.
Mark My Words (Disco Edit)
One for the swaggers. An infectious guitar groove gets the full Shallow Taxi Club treatment. Some serious additional production spins this track on its head and boots it onto the dancefloor. The pared-back yet ever-building intro doesn't really suggest what's coming. Then comes a sudden, neat drum fill and we're off. Beefed-up beats and a rolling bass lay the foundations, Rhodes stabs and synth washes add texture and drive before tripped-out brass and a twisted synth line seal the deal. Plus there's an epic guitar solo and a f***-you vocal. It's got everything. Like a 2am cab ride round the maddest clubland in history.
