Barry Diston + Steve Gillen

» Down 'n' Dirty

Reviewed by Matt Smallwood / Submitted 21-03-05 19:25

Label: Fidget Hard
Format: 12" Vinyl
Genre: Hard House


Here we have the next instalment on the Fidget Hard imprint, the output for some serious Hard House from Fidget head honcho, Barry Diston. In this case Barry teams up with Steve Gillen, for a galloping, relentless stompathon of a track! A nice crisp kick and some nice little loops in the intro beef the track up making it nice and full in the mix, before the throbbing off-beat bassline comes in. The ‘Down ‘n’ Dirty’ vocal is very appropriate for this track as it does exactly what it says on the tin, and is used well in the intro. The guys have used a wicked dirty synth line and this is brought in bit by bit to create the feeling of progression and also works well. As we enter the breakdown things turn quite dark and sinister with some eery pads and the full synth line is introduced. It’s very catchy, and I can imagine it sounds awesome on a big system, a real rumbler! Wicked build up here, they really build up the vibes nicely before an awesome filtered drum fill, and we’re back in business as the track takes the roof off! We’re treated to a few nice key changes after the break which keeps things interesting too. All in all a great Hard House track that’ll have the cleaners scraping you off the ceiling after you’ve heard it! Looking forward to hearing this one out! Nice work! Thumbs up Bangs Head

Heard this round steves on saturday... is a stomping, twisting slab of dark and dirty beats.

loving the Remix, and the originals great too, but then again, hearing some of the stuff these two have put out in the last couple of months.... What more would you expect??

Looks like another corker from the Stevie/Barry bag of boshers! Lookin' forward to hearing this one, and if there last effort's anything to go by (This Filth) then I'm sure I'll love it, and judging by the review, it'll be gauranteed to get dance floors buzzin'! All good fella! Wink

Yet again D&G come up with something brutal for the dancefloor. Is there no stopping these two boys at the moment? The last 12 months have seen their tracks caned and charted by the biggest names in the scene and it looks like "Down'n'Dirty" is set to continue the trend! Well done boys!!!Thumbs up

A big Woooooot! for D&G.
