DuMonde vs Judge Jules - What's In Your Head [Fate Recordings]

18:20 - May 1, 2005

by Dreej

The guys from DuMonde have teamed up with one of the UK's biggest trance jocks. It's been a while since they've done a collaboration under this alias, so let's see what the results are!

DuMonde's last co-production with another artist dates from 2002, the year in which DuMonde vs. Lange - 'Memory' was brought out to the masses. This turned out to be quite a slamming track, and is still being seen as one of DuMonde's stronger productions by many people.
Back in January, Jürgen and Dominik teamed up with Judge Jules to create this track in their studio's in Germany. Let's see what the results are!

A-side: Original Mix
DuMonde's hard trademark kickdrum and some nifty percussion gimmicks serve as a starter for this six and a half minute track. Gradually, elements are being built up in the background, ultimately leading to a short mini-break in which the first tones of the rather cool bassline enter. Though it's all typical DuMonde-ish, it's still a pleasure to listen to the well worked out sets of basses. Every now and then, a small vocal snippet get's repeated, phrasing the title of the track. The rather 'English' accent gives away the fact that the Judge is the one behind the vocal parts. The rest of the build is quite standard: some not too noticable synths enter in, taking you right into the breakdown. A muted version of the kick keeps the pace in the track, with them typical DuMonde string sounds playing a rather nice melody behind this. With the main riff coming in, I couldn't help but noticing that the overall structure of the track sounds a lot like DuMonde's 'Cold / Kalt' release from last year. Being backed by some simple piano sounds, a long and steady synth plays an up and down going, rather straight-forward melody. While this is nothing too spectacular, I think it will serve nicely as a good floorfiller, and would definitely work in the clubs.
Rating: 7,5/10

B-side: Michael Parsberg & DJ Choose Remix
These two producers from Denmark have teamed up to bring us their interpretation of the track that's being covered here. The start of the track is rather flat: a very standard use of the percussion leads to a not too exciting vibe throughout the first parts of the track, which is being amplified even more by the total lack of something that even remotely sounds like a bassline at this point. With the vocal thingie being thrown in here and there, a rather thin and infinitely repeating set of basses is being injected into the track. While I liked the energy in previous productions by Parsberg ('Evolution') and Choose, this doesn't even touch them. While most of the elements from the original háve been implemented in this remix, it's still sounding very, very standard. The synth that guides the main melody onwards in the original has been carbon copied and put over the percussion, and that's kind of the whole thing. I'm sorry to say this, but this just doesn't add anything to the original. I know Parsberg & Choose can do a lót better!
Rating: 5/10

Conclusion:
The Original Mix of this track is quite cool. Though you don't hear many influences from Judge Jules, it's still rather nice to listen to and will definitely raise some hands in a club. The remix, on the contrary, is very weak. I hoped for an energetic approach to the original, crammed with them trademark, uplifting Choose basslines, but in stead we get treated by an almost dull sounding interpretation. Let's see what F8T is going to bring us next!
