Mere hours ago, electroTO homeboy Bordello showed The Vamp and I a killer remix by one, Harvard Bass, that he’d been raving about for quite some time now. From that moment on I’ve been determined to find it, and by that I mean I forgot about it until I decided to burn up some CDs for the long weekend up ahead and happened to stumble on this absolutely immaculate 320.
We all know the sound that turned California native Harvard Bass (a.k.a. Victor Ramos) from just another guy to one of the select few on the reputable Sound Pellegrino label that is swiftly taking over this electronic music scene. It’s the same sound that has, and probably will continue to, make kids bounce on the dance-floor every single time Caked is dropped without fail. His work is certainly unique and you’d easily be able to pick it out of a line up so to speak but this one is really impressive. He remixed Beni’s Maximus for the Maximus Remixed EP and created an addictive monster in the process. As The Vamp put it, the drop at 1:19 is almost fidget and it’s been a long while since anybody has heard fidget been spoken of in a positive way in this community. I haven’t heard this one played out yet but I really can’t wait. That beat after the drop supported by that banging kick drum makes a song of five and a half minutes seem short . I guarantee that you won’t be able to play this one just once. Big ups to Harvard Bass for this one and big ups to Bordello for exposing it to us.
