Trnsstr – As You Like It
July 09, 2008
TRNSSTR return with the hotly anticipated ‘As you like it’ on Viva Music! The reactions on this track have been immense!
‘As You Like It’ is a monster of a track. Its rubbery opening and undulating effects give way to a modern tribal’esq bassline that drives the track along. With a number of jet streams building the tension throughout! The track is a peak time killer! The ‘Panorama’ Dub Edit is a more stripped back affair; losing the jets and locking a tight groove with its darker, butcher bassline. It loses the drama of the original but more than makes up for with that wonderful groove.
Label boss Steve Lawler has drafted in two of the most exciting young talents to lend their touch to the remixes. TG takes the release down into the warped depths for a delicious funky techno workout. Bounding, dubby bassline and trip-tastic efx make for a feet-achingly great remix.
Nicole Moudaber has turned in a marching anthem for the club legions. Stomping bassline that drives the whole mix, and equally as funky as TG’s, she utilises the original elements to wonderful effect.
TRNSSTR consist of Smokin Jo and Pete Gleadhall… Smokin Jo has been a main player on the underground scene since the early 90’s. Constantly touring the globe, she has been a regular behind the decks of the worlds greatest dance floors; from Womb in Tokyo, Panorama & Cocoon in Germany, Fabric London to Crobar and Space in the US. She also holds the summer residency at Space Ibiza and has done now for some years.
Her partner in crime Pete has produced under various monikers since the early 90’s. In his ‘Forthright’ guise he lent his remix talent to massive artists such as The Pet Shop Boys and George Michael. Today he continues to produce and release music from his ‘Hoedown City’ studio, where his skills have seen him work with the likes of Danny Tenaglia, Tom Stephan and of course Jo.
