John Digweed deserves respect for never blowing his own trumpet, just being content channelling his passion for dance music into perfecting the art of detonating large crowds and creating sublime music. This record – first under his own name and trailering the ‘Transitions’ album – screams Huge Throbbing Bollocks of the first degree. John and studio partner Nick Muir’s original – inspired by the renowned South American club – is an electro-tinged, bass-weighted cruise missile rising gradually into a limbs-aloft killer. Mashtronic go in for the kill on their remix, adding groin-catapulting groove, slabs of pressurised noise and deep, swelling chords. It’s already a hard and snarling rhythm-beast before the main riff steams in with all guns blazing. Drops, cliffhanger moments and ultimately mass whoopee. Few recent tunes have been so hellbent on unashamed mass destruction and pulled it off so deftly.
