Sam Perez & Brusca - Balance User (Kickroach Recordings)
Release Date: June 3rd, 2008
Reviewed: 3.5/5
User Rating: 3.5/5

The Original Mix is a driving builder that has a trancy kick, crunchy effects on the percussion and a gritty tribal type synth that takes over as the melody progresses in the track. The stompy bassline gives it some pretty good energy, while the simple pads and FX drenched synth stabs pile on top of one another and end up with a nice peak. Good mid range synth prog. I would play this right in the middle of everything.

Saul's Remix is deeper even more gritty, focusing a bit more on the near speed garage bassline. It's dirty techno with a sick bassline and it changes enough to keep you interested. It reminds me of James Zabiela's "Weird Science" good stuff.

Salvor's Remix is basically the breaks version of the first two mixes. It still has a house kick going on but the rest of the song keeps to a breakbeat format. The bassline and the synth stabs seem to be just a little off. I think the mixture of prog and breaks are too conflicting.

Comments from MyPromoPool.com:
"Digging the original mix. Nice layering of percussion that gives it that tight groove. The song could benefit from a little more direction. The Saul B Remix is a nice techy progressive track. Not particularly my style but should work well between both tech house and techno crowds." - 3.5 / 5
