House-Review: Stonebridge - Freak On

Label: Testpressing
Mixes: Peter Presta Mix, Vocal Mix
Useable or Best Mix(es): Vocal Mix

Refers to: Vocal Mix

Style: House (Dubby Disco Vocal)

Mix-In: Long beat-only with some shades of taped/compressed disco strings (you'll know what I mean). Painless to mix in.

Drive: As good as vocal house can (=good). For some reason, something is missing ... is the bassline too weak? Is there some pad or reverb missing? I don't know, but it sounds too empty.

Beat: Standard stuff and some percussive back-beat. Attempts of a syncoptation here and there, not very tribalish anyway. Heck, tribal has nothing to do with disco house.

Quality: Quality is OK, good for white label. Mastering is a bit flat.

Break-Down: A real break, vocals only with some upbuilding filtering. Not too long. Then beat again with female scream climax-kinda-stuff, ya' know...

Mix-Out: Main theme, then beat only with some filtered shades of main theme.

Comment/Opinion: I don't know ... this track has potential. The problem is, that there is nothing else to say. It's good, but it's not a remarkable track. And, as said, it sounds a bit empty here and there. You can play it, but you don't have to.
