D.Trac3d & Jay Walker - Androids EP


Next up on Held II Ransom We have the man D.Traced AkA Daniel Taylor , Droppin us a 2 part EP to Celebrate our 30th release on Held II Ransom ! No newcomer to the scene D.Trac3d has been around in one shape or another since the early days of hardcore as Tazz , then later taking the name Traced for his hard trance and techno in the mid 2000's , before finally finding bass music and electro and settling on the name D.Trac3d , with an extensive discography with releases on various labels we are very happy to welcome him to Held II Ransom !

First up on part 1 of this big EP is the title track Androids .Teaming up with Jay Walker , D.Trac3d brings us a monster dub step tune , half-time beats , quirky leads and a massive spoken sample , this tune twists it up into a frenzy of cut up bass and samples . "how many androids does it take to remove a light bulb?" None !!! Androids can see in the dark !! This one sure to set pulses racing an dance floors jackin'!!

Next up is  Damn That and this time we have a look @ the Electro House side of D.Trac3d , Hard hitting Kick drums and lovely warm cut up bass envelop us leading us to a big synth breakdown before unloading a massive feel good riff on the drop , before the cut up vocals an bass drive this tune to its destination !!

Last and by no means least we have Interrobang which just keeps the showcasing of this mans talents going !! This time he brings us a Drum an bass monsta !! Another tune and another massive hands in the air moment ! Hard to miss D.Trac3d's style in this one , the cut up bass an samples running all the way complimenting the big euphoric lead !!! if U like Ur up-tempo euphoric Drum and bass then this one will have U waving them hands like U just don't care!!!!

All in all I'm sure You'll agree an excellent way to celebrate our 30th release !!
