WE ARE BACK LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!! I present to you, the sound of 2023 - BENKINS - CYCLONE (+LONGEEZ REMIX) - really rolls off the tongue, aye?!
I remember when Benkins sent me this tune literally almost a year ago - I was in SHOCK! I mean, holy cow, I'd only just met the guy and he was already trying to MURDER me with this absolute WEAPON - how DARE he?!?!
Fortunately, I survived the initial onslaught - the WIBBLY WOBBLY bassline, the snares so sharp they could cut through COLD HARD STEEL, the vocal sampling from that CLASSIC Coney Island viral vid - DOES IT GET ANY MORE BLEEDIN BENKINS? I don't think so.
And then LONGEEZ, YOU CHEEKY RASCAL! He said he wanted to run a remix, and obviously I had to JUMP at the chance - what transpired is a MENTAL speed garage remix that, much like the original, takes all the best bits from it's respective genre, but puts an exciting new twist on it, these ain't two regular garage tracks, TRUST ME - the shuffly drums, the cheeky bell, and MY GOD the bass is murky isn't it!!
This one's already had a keep hush spin and legend has it it gets played almost every bleedin weekend in Bristol, so GRAB DIS now before its too late and you're not cool for knowing about it anymore xxx
