Ernesto vs Bastian - Dark Side of The Moon [High Contrast]

21:03 - February 15, 2005

by Dreej

After months and months of CDR hyping by all the usual suspects, this new tune by two of the hottest Dutch producers is finally getting a release on the Be Yourself Music label. Does it still have the magic it had when it was first played? Click in to read all about it...

Ernst van der Meij (Ernesto) and Edwin Koelewijn (Bastian) started producing together back in 2001, with their breakthrough record being 'Lonely People'. In the years following, they released floorfillers like 'Who's The Starter', 'A Few Seconds After Trancefer', 'Being Single' and 'Stop 9.5', and made various cool remixes.
The track Edwin K - 'No Pain No Gain' has been released a few weeks ago as well, and DJ Ernesto - 'In Me' will be released soon on the Altitude label.

This copy is one-sided, but the full release will include a remix by Dogzilla if I'm not mistaken.

As far as I know this is their first full on vocal track, so let's see what they did this time...

A-side: Dark Side of The Moon
The initial percussion elements in this track reminded me directly of a Gabriel & Dresden production (which can't be bad, can it). A driving kick, bouncy clap, sinister background synthies and a good use of different hi-hats catapult us right into the introduction of the bassline, which has a very funky vibe to it. Small pieces of bass are being injected into the track in a steady way, generating the right atmosphere for the vocals to come in. Especially the chorus is super-catchy: it makes you want to hum along all the way during the track, and makes you feel hungry for another portion of it. As the track flows on, more and more small gimmicks are being added, with the most notable one being the bee-sounding synth that plays along with the chorus. This creates a quite neat vibe, only being powered further by the 'different' structure of the build to the break. With drum sounds pounding behind the vox, the breakdown commences. Snippets of the vocal are being repeated on and on, then to fade away and make place for a very energetic mega-synth! Though the overall sound of this is rather high, it works immensely well. As the percs return, the melody fades out just a little bit, making place for an altered version of the bassline combined with the other elements. If you think you've had the climax now, you're totally wrong; the melody from the break starts building itself up again, preparing us for another portion of vocal pleasure. When all this is done, all the patterns start to build themselves down, ultimately leading to the point where you have to take the needle and put it back in it's stable.

Conclusion:
Ernesto and Bastian sure know how to deliver, and this track is no exception. The vocals are of the 'I wanna hum along' type, and the melodies, FX, bassline and percs do their work in a very nice way. Two thumbs up!
The full release will most probably see the daylight in March.
