Infusion release another 12" with an Adam Freeland Mix and a new DJ fave on the flipside. Does the hype meet quality?
Infusion – Better World (Part 2) (Polaroid Recordings)
Infusion released a double 12” pack on their own label but for the purposes of simplicity, I will separate them into two reviews, the first one is already posted and here comes number two. Infusion have a strong claim to breaks’ golden trophy for 2004, Infusion should be listed among DJ Hyper, Rennie Pilgrem and Grayarea. They have toured around the world and now they are starting to get recognized by not only the media but the fans, which really determine what music is bought and what deejays are loved or hated. So here is part 2 of the double vinyl release and it adds the always unpredictable Adam Freeland, who had a tough 2004 with the problems with Marine Parade. Infusion then adds a dancefloor rocker that has had fans in many A list deejays.
Side A – Better World (Adam Freeland Mix) Side B – Love and Imitation
Side A
Adam Freeland starts his mix off with his usual dirty breakbeat bassline, which fits well here. He vocoders the vocal line, just like Josh Wink did but Freeland’s mix heads for the cross breed of electro breaks, not electro house like Josh Wink’s Interpretation. A guitar riff hits and it so indicative of the current trend in breakbeat, Hyper did it with his remixes of Sarah Mclachlan and the Sugababes, Pilgrim did it with his album, so why should we be surprised?. The guitar riff is heavy here, but it works really well, not quite as well as Hyper’s mix of Stupid but you can’t have everything perfect in tracks. I like the fact that Pilgrem also uses “Push us down” as the only clean part of the vocal but it is such a treat. This is well done but not spectacular, even by Adam Freeland’s standards, which are notoriously high. It is nice to see the head honcho of Marine Parade back, after he had a very tough 2004, with the financial problems of Marine Parade’s distributors.
Side B
This is clearly the best side of the two and Infusion show that they can make Grayareaesque dancefloor destroyers. This is similar to the nasty and utterly mean Grayarea’s Albatross Mix of Gravity that was out on Hope earlier this year. Infusion’s opening bassline reminds me of Evil Nine at times but I’m not sure exactly why it sounds so close. The hook grabs you right off the bat and just drags you along for a ten minute odyssey of dark and dirty breaks. The best part is the harmonic keys that are used in the background, coupled with that bassline, I’m on cloud nine. As this track gets going, you know you cannot stop it, even if you wanted to, what a corker this track is. The track uses some mighty impressive riff work, which grinds more at times but you are already floating away. When the track finally breaksdown, you realize that Infusion are up there with Grayarea and that the two trios have a lot of talent. Such amazing work here, a true dancefloor destroyer by the Aussies, it will cause mayhem on the floor, you have been warned by me, watch out, this one will be HUGE!
Conclusion:
Adam Freeland’s mix is good but it is not that great, but it will still be played by many A list deejays but I’m still not sure what Freeland left out but who cares, it is the B side that you should buy this record for and that will destroy many dancefloors. They hype around this song certainly meets quality, "Love and Imitation" is Infusion showing their talents, just like Grayarea’s massive mix of Gravity, which tore up the dancefloors as well. I wish more groups made more records like these because they are so special and so incredible
