As if they weren’t unstoppable enough on their own, the inspired pairing of Boom Jinx and Andrew Bayer go head to head with the Trifonic duo and Matt Lange to create one of the biggest buzz tracks on Anjunadeep in months – ‘Quadcore’.
Already featured on BBC Radio One’s Essential Mix and as Record Of The Week on Above & Beyond’s Trance Around The World, ‘Quadcore’ is a crazed crossover beast that takes in elements of electro, tech-house, trance and progressive and unleashes them into a uniquely groovy, bass squelching dancefloor bomb.
With pacey, weaving layers of rippling bass, jittery electro synths and head-spinning sonic trickery, ‘Quadcore’ ramps up to a fierce crescendo before collapsing into a reflective musical breakdown – only to smash back into a suckerpunch of dirty electro squelch. A unique beast that is loaded with ideas and surprise shifts, 'Quadcore' is sure to trample over all sorts of genre barriers and find fans in all corners.
It would take a confident producer to take on such a track and Mau5trap's Steve Duda is certainly that. A collaborator of the mighty Deadmau5, Duda has also worked with renowned artists like industrial pioneers Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie and A Perfect Circle. Bringing three decades of production expertise to the ‘Quadcore’ table, Duda’s remix is a respectful rework that keeps the dirty electro groove but adds a beautifully emotive piano melody that is both sombre and optimistic.
