Only 2+ months to go.

i think james should stick to djing based on the tracks ive heard of his so far.. but not heard this so cant comment! intersted to hear a sample.

tune is kinda robophobish, thus repetitive, but i like the spooky sample

Are you saying that you think his remixes of Ficta - "Eli" are somehow lacking?

If so, no offense Mike, I really dig your productions and even the ones I don't, I recognize and respect as, for the most part, being VERY well produced, but those remixes (Rave Lizard and RL Reprise) are both better than most of what I've heard in your discography.

IMO, James doesn't produce enough.

made a sample of an unfinished version james has been playing in his sets....

i'm sure if you didn't like robophobia you won't like this, but for those that enjoy james style...i think it's a great follow up. and really you need to hear it in the club before you can judge because the bassline is great on some big speakers...is it the most well produce track ever? no of course not...but it's got style and originality...

LOL Jason, what track released in the last year could be honored with that kind of praise?

I guess I just think it's a very versatile sounding track for DJ's who do more than just transition mixing

well i'm sure what mike foyle was referring to, and it's something james has got a lot of criticism about, is the quality of the sounds in his tunes. and that's what i was kinda referring to.

There are samples on his myspace. I don't really like it too much upon first listen.

Zabs is my favorite DJ. But the only production I've REALLLLLLY dug has been the remix of Eli. And that's including this. Just not a fan. Not that it's bad, at all. Just not something I'd play on a regular basis.

Better than his previous singles (excluding Eli, and his various remixes). It's just a tad better than Robophobia, and similar to it in that it's meant to be fucked around with. If you spin just from track-to-track, then it'll be boring. If you scratch, use Ableton, or an effects processor, then the track can be amazing.

Posted by RapidFire on Apr-28-2006 01:19:

cant wait to hear remixes of this track. it has the potential to be a stormer.

Posted by Tenshi on Apr-28-2006 14:49:

didn't hear this yet but i quite liked robophobia!

but i think he should make more things like his remix of r�yksopp - remind me and cd & pole folder - dust

Posted by Az on Apr-28-2006 16:15:

he opened on it when I saw him last week
it go's right off

How do you classify James Zabiela's genre?

I would say Electro-House.

Nice review!

i would say...

Tech House / Techno / Breaks / Acid / Progressive

not really "Electro House"...

That's my feelings as well. This particular track isn't bad at all tho, and I like it quite a bit more than Robophobia. But it's not remarkably special.

7/10 or 7.5/10
