Drift Ep. 4, Part 6 - Border Country

[domsgotsideburns]

this is one of the best DRIFT tracks so far, no doubt. it sits up there with Listen To Their No and Appleshine Continuum for me. the visceral and bombastic intensity is the mere reason as to why this track so great...it really does hark back to the STITI era, especially with that high BPM. an absolutely essential release.

in the scope of DRIFT episode 4, i'm floored by how challenging this one has been. we have a couple of the most accessible and profound tracks (Listen and Border Country), but they bookend some of the most decisive DRIFT material yet (Hundred Weight Hammer and Altitude Dub). i wonder what adjustments (if any) will surface on the collated episode because i've been so mesmerised by its prolific nature.

Frisson Level: Success


i also enjoy karl's goofy blurb

"people seem to like this live"

yeah man, glad we scientifically road-tested the mass reception to "what if underworld brought the fast techno back". was kind of an unknown quantity before...

Absolutely the best one so far for me... Schiphol Test is beautiful and Hundred Weight Hammer is exactly the kind of Ring Road / Peggy Sussed / Bebop Hurry mess I love. Can't wait for the collated episode.

This deserves its own 12" release with some tasty remixes and an extended/full version, then it could take over Ibiza this summer (although I am a little biased!). Loving 5:47 when it kicks in again after the breakdown.

Oh, and I'm loving the Tron like video too.

I'm curious about this as well, this is the first one where I can't really figure how these pieces fit together at all. at least they got a few days to figure it out

I know the Drift series has a lot of new and odd directions but I think it's awesome how they've sorta hit a lot of their various sounds from the past.. A huge banger was the only thing missing. i'm glad they can still do it.
