Al-Andalus is a perfect example of the “Mediterranean†sound being developed by 23Hz + Numaestro. Starting with a vocal sample from Moroccan music the introduction is joined by an accordion type riff – curiously sounding not too dissimilar to Augusto Pablo’s distinctive melodica sound.
This track oozes distinctive character and is guaranteed to lift the dance floor as well as providing a deep meditative vibe. Road tested by Numaestro on dubplate it has levelled dances right across Spain and beyond as well as being picked up by many of the DJs on Sub FM and figuring in many of the top tens of DJs in the dubstep community over recent months. You are advised not to sleep on this one!PRAISE DUB (B side)
Starting with a vocal sample from Algerian music - a short introduction leads to the drop. Then a rampaging descending scale bass line comes into play set against tight stepping swinging beats. High strings and atmospheric fx, together with the vocal sample are spliced into the tune to give texture. This is an exercise in energetic bass n beats, referencing early jump -up jungle and two-step swing - given the trademark 23Hz+Numaestro Mediterranean twist.
A real goodtime club banger - this tune has been a fixture in Numaestro's DJ sessions proving to be a crowd fave!//////////NEWS04/2008
