REVIEW: Darren Tate - The Ark out on Mondo Black

10.0
Overall Score


Mondo's very own Darren Tate makes his debut on the impressive Black imprint with his thumping, progressive, peak time offering 'The Ark'.

This track has everything you'd expect from DT8, with a rolling bassline, 80's percussion, masterfully engineered tension accompanied with immense analogue sounds and beautifully haunting pads leading you to an almost orgasmic break, before a stomping finale of an outro. Perfect for any DJ's peak time set.

Darren Tate - The Ark 10

Summary

Darren Tate is one of the most consistent producer in the dance scene with wide variety of releases and with always great memorable tracks. The Ark is his own vision of the current crazy of the peak time melodic techno trend. The techno kick merged with driving basslines, thumping drums and suspenseful arrangement that lead us graciously in his long cinematic mysterious dystopian breakdown followed by his full on dynamic climax that will please ears and make you feel ready to smash it on any dancefloor! Darren have produced the perfect fit for Mondo Black and has all the potential to conquer this ever growing and expanding techno scene. #PureGold Love IT
