  • Finally the original mix "Airtight" here on youtube. I wont argue with weather or not the remix is better because i know the remix is a masterpiece of its own but lets not forget where it first came from

    This is proper intelligent - syncopated, melodic, ambient... One of the best. Proper neck twister and nodder.

    Back in the 90s I made sure that every DJ set I played i made sure this made it in. No matter how dark or funky jump up it got. This always got a spin. Beautiful.

    I agree that there's no point debating which is better. Love em both anyway. The drumming is even more frantic in this. How they came up with the drum lines is beyond me.... but they work brilliantly

    You know, every song is based on another, that had it's prime a few years or decades before. I would really like to know the story behind this song. Can't imagine this is made from scratch. Like I listened to Adam F - Circles for like 10 years until I realised: Bob James - Westchester Lady!! :-) Anyone has information about this beautifil track??

      Adam F Circles has one short snippet of Westchester Lady. Unlike most of the rest of the scene, Adam F was an accomplished musician that didn't need to use samples. Listen to the actual music that Circles consists of outside of that sample: Adam F had vision and musical know-how. John B was probably the only other person on the scene at that point with that degree of musical understanding, but he simply wasn't in that league. Neither was Adam F for very long in all honesty. However, most of the Artcore tunes weren't based on loops from other tunes. If you believe that then you simply aren't listening. They were largely made from pads and sine wave basslines, just like this one. There is simply no need to copy another song when your tune consists of two chords on a pad, a bassline and breakbeats. Generally, the producers on this scene followed each other and the formula was very much defined. Beautiful simplicity. There were plenty of tunes in this style that featured samples from the likes of Lonnie Liston Smith but, for the most part, the ingredients of these tunes were homecooked. The notable exception is the kingpin, Bukem himself, whose tunes generally are loops from other tunes.
