Now this is a no-nonsense dancefloor pleaser. As usual from Ben Kama, the production standard is very high, which is more essential in a track like this than it might be otherwise. The basic premise is very simple, which is a good or bad thing depending on your point of view. The simple one-note bassline is always effective but it's been done so often that the track needs to work harder around ... More

Really nice track, the bassline is amazing. Nice sounds on background. I just didn't like the buildup from 2:30 - 2:43. It is too distractive and it's high end was a pain.

really liking the vibe on this, really dark dancefloor smasher! i love the drums tempo descent before breakdown, i like this in lot of tracks so i like it also in your track, its really pleasant change :)
but i am afraifd that i am not a big fan of the mid-bass sound, and drums, they sounds so "basic", i would expect more rolling drums, but its still good, maybe just matter of opinion! cheers!

Dark mid basslines is what I like. Maybe a bit too straightforward approach for my taste, but I liked the beat modulation really much. Nice touch in there. I would add more sub and maybe something to make it stand out a bit. Not bad at all.  
This review is unhelpful (-1 from 1 person)

oh yeah, 2:08 is like OH SNAP!  Those beats are no-nonsense dancefloor killers, super pumpy with nice chunky hats and a deep snare that rounds out around the bass.

Speaking of the bass, great mix with that distorted synth, everything sits super nice.  Great arrangement and killer production quality.

Like everyone says, this is serious dancefloor material.  Keeping the bass pumping the offbeats moves it along while keeping the sound clean and open.  Sound fx are not groundbreaking but they are well thought out. The bassline changes just enough to keep it interesting while keeping the focus firmly on the main beat.  The drums are punchy sounding and build well across the track to the ... More

This is quality tunage. It's all very well put together, the mix is good and there is a lot of cool edits. I would have loved the bass to be a bit more melodic, at least for a section of the track, but apart from that I don't have much criticism. You have those modern fat drums (which get wicked rolling once the sandy break or whatever it is comes in), sizzling fx, a well executed down-tempo ... More

some nice touches but not enough to make it extra special imo

production quality as always is very good.

the bass is good, but wears thin quite quickly because its so naked.  theres not much else going on with it.  some additional dark atmospherics / pads / fx would have given the tune some character, and made it it more memorable.

listen to 96 Baracade by Dub-one or Imagination by Dom & Roland.... ... More

cool ideas here
synth is nice but its a little bit repeative
maybe adding some  other elements will make it better
the beat is to soft  imo
its like  the kick needs more low freq
the sub is down pitched  and cant hear it good

but yeah good work

This is a classic tune from Ben Kama, I would love to hear this played out as it just makes you want to move. It's simple but so effective and the production skills are just top notch, this would have any dancefloor rocking and next time I play out I will deffo be playing this tune! Keep up the great work man! Peace

My favorite track of Ben Kama. It's stupid, foul smelling and doesn't care about it even slightest. Nice groove on the beats. Bass stab is really minimal but still banging. I thought it couldn't get any meaner after triplet fill, but then in comes the electrohousy breakdown, nasty :D

This is hot!  Love it.  It's not terribly complex, but a track like this doesn't need to be, although in full 5-6 minute album release form it might get boring towards the end.  What it lacks in movement it makes up for in attitude.  The breakdown at 2:04 is killer, btw.

the drums and the monotonic and repetitive bassline make it not my cuppa tea. The breakdown was nice, but still 6/10. the production was good ,but composition and the drums left me cold

The production is correct.
I like the triplet part and the breakdown.

But I don't like this offbeat bassline, repetitive and basic.
The track is pretty empty but it could be great with a good work on sound design (fat bass, rollin edit, pad / fx ...) and on the structure (not just on pattern and a breakdown).

All your track is based on this bassline and it's play straight from the intro : no ... More

this has teh kind of balls that i wish other people would have on their productions..
going from one genre to the next, i love the repetitive offbeat bassline on the 3rd...pricelss...almost like the kind of buildup you would find on a tool record.
loving this track...becase its not free i will not be giving it a 10. but otherwise i would
hahaha, the sound quality is fantastic. brilliant track.
