Leon Bolier and Cliff Coenraad team up to produce this double sided much talked about release on Intuition Recordings, on a slice of green vinyl no less...
:: Bolier & Coenraad - Mighty Ducks / Mohawk :: Intuition Recordings :: INTU907
A: Mighty Ducks This track is very techy in nature, which is a bit of a change than what we're used to hearing from Intuition releases. The first half of the track is very simplistic in nature and it relies on a medley of beats, percussion and soft, stabby synths to create driving and compelling rhythms and patterns. This does work, but at the same time it leaves you wanting something more because it doesn't really feel as if the track actually goes anywhere. There is an abrupt silence as the break comes in and hits you with a total contrast. A calm and soothing melody is played out with perky synth notes and is backed by deep, echoing chords. Soon enough though, the deep, techy beats fire back up again and get stuck into the same rut as before. There is a hint of where the title originated - another synth is added in, playing more stabby kind of notes, except it doesn't sound a bit like the quack of a Duck. But once you've come across this realization, there isn't much left in this track.
AA: Mohawk Now why of why was 'Mohawk' put onto the B-side of this vinyl? We're back to proper Intuition territory here, folks. It kicks off with great beats - thick and strong with heavy bass rumbling up beneath them. Soon a mixture of synths and basslines just simply rises up from the depths and before you know it, after a cheeky little break, things are truly kicking along with drive, pace and general trancey energy. The main breakdown is again a big contrast - lots of pads, smooth synths and soothing melodies abound. Maybe this is a clear trait of the style that Bolier and Coenraad create? This breakdown though has more feeling held within. There seems to be more thought put into the melodies and the surrounding sounds which are rich and full bodied. A stabbed hookline is introduced during a fairly long climax and this continues after the drop so as to wrap up the track's progression. Again very simple ideas but this time they're executed way better than before, culminating in a real stomper, which I have seen with my own eyes, will electrify a willing dancefloor. Great tune!
Conclusion:
Overall, the A-side 'Mighty Ducks' is quite the disappointment with a bunch of techy beats that don;t really go anywhere. The B-side however is the real deal. Energy, drive, euphoria - all the things you want in a piece of driving trance are there to make this one really stand out. It saves this record and makes it worth having for itself alone.
