Ian M - Crazy Pill
Vicious Circle
Available on Promo
I feel like I've taken a crazy pill. There has never been a more adept sample in a tune.
Ian M is one of hard house's old guard. Resident at the legendary trade and the midland's
number one hard house club storm, his career of late has been somewhat quiet outside of London.
With previous releases on Tidy and various other labels, his production career equals his achievements
on the decks! This little number comes as release number 25 from vicious circle, a label moving like
a freight train.
This tune I would equate to the Taj Mahal or maybe the pyramids in Egypt. You see no matter
how much I tell you about it, until you hear it you won't know the true magnetite or the effect it
will have on you. I worry about putting it in sets because I know that I'll want to dance rather
than mix. From the onset the beats are hard and the percussion is intelligent and well structured.
The true beauty of this track is in fact its quirkiness. It plays with you, dropping samples and
cutting beats like a dj was performing in front of you. And when the bass kicks in, it really kicks
in. Then add a Hoover that came straight from hell and a breakdown that Satan himself must have conjured
up. Add a flavoring of subtle key changes and even more sample mayhem and you have what is destiny to be
this years biggest hard house tune.
It's in my box and will probably never leave.
