THE BEAT by DJ OVERDOSE

What's the common point between Novamen, Los Hombres Nova, Dream Disco, Get It Boyz, The Hasbeens and Los Muchachos Gruesos? Dj Overdose of course! Having written since the mid of the 90's some of the best electro cuts made in The Hague (Holland) on prestigious labels Murder Capital, Bunker, Das Drehmoment, Panama Racing, Viewlexx or O.S.T, this well established 36 years old bass fanatic is Monotone's new signature. Delivering with “The Beat” a wild five tracker E.P. in his own trademark style, Dj Technician's partner demonstrates once again just how vital the Nederland electro sound is. Opening the A-side with a stripped down bassline, the title cut “The Beat” slowly mutes into a relentless nasty rocking mayhem based upon breathing samples, synthetic voices, hip hop lyrics and top notch scratchin'. Genius. Next is melodious “Drift Away”. Made of sharp analogue synth lines, this Kraftwerkian ode serves a fresh oldschool-ish electro that will probably not seem to be outdated during the next 20 years. The flipside keeps the pressure with killer “It's Dj Overdose”. Melting with success rough beats, brilliant 808 drum programming, B-boys samples, vintage tonalities and heady vocoder, this ghetto tech tune is a real tribute to Miami. As insane as “Kleun De Megamix”, the following cut which offers to the 12'' one of its hottest pieces! To figure out what's this incredible tune could sound like (a lesson of turntablism imo) Ending with bonus scratches and parts sequences for DJ's on “Xtras”, fierce “The Beat” is a mindblowing release guaranteed to set fire to many dancefloors...
