John Askew Club Music EP

1) John Askew - Blackout - 8.5/10
2) John Askew - Electraglide(Askew's Stripped Down Mix) - 8/10

Comments anyone?

Both products are extremely good imo, a LOT better than his remix of 2v2 which is what I had last heard from him. The EP is aptly named too as it IS club music and has a distinct club vibe!
Electraglide was on ASOT 162 if I remember correctly? Sounded pretty good back then too.

Hmm, I haven't been very happy with his recent productions, and Askew REALLY needs to change that kickdrum. That it works like a charm in a club is no excuse. Ever since Skylab things just haven't cut it IMO. Will check nevertheless.

i agree, his kick sounds the same all the time, but i really like his approach to his productions: raw, energetic and uplifting at the same time. love the way he uses the melodies playing in the back, focusing more on the kicks and basslines and other crazy noises

will check this one out for sure

Aye, he has made some quality stuff. The way he handled his melodies on Vellum and The Door and his rhythmic sensibilities on Are You Reading Me and New Dimension are good examples of this. His recent productions sound stale though, mostly due to the kickdrum. Hope that changes here.

Bullshit..

his remix of castenda, introspection and sensorica were all shit hot. blackout is okay but id rather hear him remix some other tune tbh

Posted by davidclarke on Sep-08-2004 19:26:

blackout is good

electroglide is pretty dull

Posted by trance-ecj on Feb-05-2005 08:59:

thought the opposite of the above post

Heard these tunes just recently, and electraglide = WOW!!!!!!!!

one of the most beautiful tunes ever!!

ALthough, I made some edits on it, cut some crap out and extended some other parts

I'm really digging this...so beautiful....works on so many diff levels

Posted by Dazzle on Feb-05-2005 09:19:

Actually, All his lated releases and rmxes suck, imo.
Off course he made a few good rmxes, but that's all. Now he has a boring, not changing sound

Great tracks as always from Askew, look out for his new EP for Armada... coming soon to a club near you!!!!!

Bought this the other week and thought it was OK. I think Askew's a great producer although not all his tracks are my sort of thing. Of the two tracks on the EP, Blackout gets my vote: a very well-produced piece of dark, banging, minimal trance. Askew's really going to have to go some if he wants to better that amazing Casteneda remix.

it seems a lot of people dont understand the concept of john askews music. it is not supposed to be full on amazing trance, anyhow... the Club music EP is absolute genius, both tracks!

Posted by Nell on Feb-24-2005 03:10:

nothing to see here, move along now...

sorry but there you go.

Posted by NickPilon on Feb-24-2005 21:41:

Askew kick rocks!
