Back on Armada Music after the iconic 'Adagio For Strings' (with Distorted Dreams), U.K. go-getter Ben Nicky links up with Northern Irish techno producer Jason Cluff to present an audial behemoth. Pitting the trancey synths and dreamy piano tones against the juggernaut kick drums and edgy sound effects, 'Sideways' sends listeners into overdrive at breakneck speed.
Dimitri Kechagias review:
Ben Nicky & Jason Cluff - Sideways 10
Summary
Ben Nicky & Jason Cluff collide for the ultra strong hard dance or hyper techno track Sideways. With some strong basic elements the track manage to carry the listener for a hard bumping ride. With nods to electro pop of the 80s and ATB trance of the late 90's along with heavy head crashing fast beats, ultra spanking basslines and thunderous drums merged with cool party vocal samples and balearic slightly distorted ATB style guitar riffs. The track has the words crowd goes bonkers written all over it! From head to toe the energy rush is unstoppable. #PureBassPower Love IT
