Another track featured on Fabric’s Elevator Music, Starkey‘s Black Monolith is a bass heavy track layered with some very dramatic melodies. It’s relentless build up has an almost cinematic feel to it, and really carries the atmostphere. Starkey‘s been a bit hit or miss for me lately, but this one is bang on target.
This rolling bassdriven track featured on Fabric’s first Elevator Music compilation earlier this year. Whilst the compilation is full of goodies, this one is definately a favorite. It reminds of some early 90s techno, playing in a warehouse. It’s got that resonating echo that seems to bounce of the walls, filling the room with a warm sound you just can’t sit still on. And it just keeps on building up, never slowing down for a drop, never releasing it’s grip, only to come up with a melody somewhere 3 minutes into the track, taking you even further into this trip. I could lose myself completely to this one on a night out. Play it loud.
Nice pick, and great writeup too. It really sounds exactly as it reads, reads exactly as it sounds.
