PAUL MASTERSON PRESENTS SUBWAY
WHAT U GOT WHAT U DO

Masterson slows the BPM down (127) but sticks to his nutty synth riffs and grand strings; the sympathetic message of the vocal hook (’it’s not about what you got, what u do’) giving a solid hook to this simple yet catchy number. On the flip Esse & Sant’s italo funky house mix opts for a timeless balearic disco vibe (124 BPM). With ’The Body Clap’ Touche experiments by combining house beats, arabic strings and en vogue electro synths a la Blackstrobe / Tiefschwartz. On ’She’s At The Club’ he goes rock by throwing distorted bass and driving guitars into his usual funky pot of sped-up hip hop vocal samples.
