Trance Review: Simon Patterson - Bulldozer (V2) out on Armada Music

10.0
Overall Score



Simon Patterson delivers a HUGE re-interpretation of one of his biggest classics! Prepare yourselves for the madness that is 'Bulldozer (V2)'.

Simon Patterson mentions about this release:"Out today is my new version of Bulldozer. This track, along with Panic Attack and F16, marked the beginning of my journey in mastering that psy-tech sound that would go on to be my signature. Around that same time I was heavily focused on Dogzilla work and I wasn’t playing out much, but I had just started a residency at The Cross, the infamous home of Serious in London. It was the perfect place to refine my sound and shape what would become my musical identity as I gradually stepped away from Dogzilla.

For this v2 version I sampled the key elements that made Bulldozer special, modernized it with a few extra twists, took the BPM up considerably and generally gave it a 2025 production overhaul. Very happy with how it turned out and excited to share it with you all today!

This is the first in a series of re-released back-catalog tracks from my Spinnin’ days - now all coming out with new versions as well as the originals under Armada." Simon Patterson via instagram.

Summary

Simon Patterson continues to deliver exceptional versions of his renowned classics. His latest rendition of Bulldozer (V2) is characterized by its unwavering brutality and tenacity. This 150 BPM beast is forceful and purposeful, delivering an immediate surge of energy that captivates the senses. Prepare for an immersive journey into a dark and dystopian realm, perfectly aligned with the uncertain times we inhabit. The extended atmospheric breakdown builds in intensity with remarkable sonic effects, creating a thriller-like atmosphere that evokes a sense of unease and suspense. The basslines, drums, and kicks are relentless and demanding, while the acid touches add a touch of etherealness. This sonic assault propels the listener to the brink of euphoria, transporting them to a realm beyond the confines of reality. #PureGold Love iT
