Track of the Day: Doorly & Hauswerks - Swamp Donkey
What the heck is a "Swamp Donkey" anyway? Had I known I was going to review this track in the early morning hours this past Monday morning when I was freezing my ass off at Desert Hearts with none other than Doorly himself I probably would have asked him. For now you will have to settle for a little imagination, this review, and sample of his first collaboration with another favorite producer of mine Hauswerks. I'm hoping this is just the beginning of their work together as the finished product of their first EP for Hot Creations is quite enjoyable. "Swamp Donkey" comes at you right away with a samba infused tribal groove as background vocal elements and crowd noise permeate through the bass line slowly chugging away. Teasing the massive bass line that will later become the focal point. As the track progresses with some varying sweeps and pads, I get the sensation of being in an old smokey night club in Ibiza. Gradually building until giving way to an intensely mesmerizing breakdown that has so much power and soul behind it you cant help but feel yourself being moved. I cant get enough of that seriously wonked out "horn bass" for lack of a better term. It all culminates to wonderfully satisfying climax as the tune brings all it parts together for the final act of the song.Both of these two artists on their own are two of the most talented producers and just straight up innovators when it comes to the House Music scene. Doorly with his projects across the globe from his radio shows on Rinse FM to Doorly & Friends and everywhere in between he is constantly at the forefront of what is good in music.Hauswerks has also been hard at work crafting sounds in the studio for the better part of a decade. Producing tracks for labels like Moda Black and Viva Records as well as recently working with the legendary Groove Armada. 2015 has been a good year for both of these individuals and I hope collectively they continue to keep making epic music as such.Last but certainly not least if you have not checked out our latest weekly mix from guest mix artist Maikol its right there below just hit the play button.
