#94 Feat. Staff Picks in Hard Dance / Hardcore / Neo Rave

Dolby D and H! Dude mark their Bonzai Records debut with the fantastic and much anticipated 'I'm A Mess'. Having worked together with great success on recent projects, these guys certainly know how to create energy and drive in a track. Dolby D aka Mickael David started his career in the South of France as a DJ before he moved into producing his own sounds. With almost 30 years in the business, he boasts an eye-watering release count on top labels, including his own Dolma Rec which launched in 2014. Award winning Belgian DJ, producer and creator of Technostep H! Dude aka Mathieu Massart has also enjoyed a career as a DJ before he too moved to production and amassing a vast back catalogue on some of the very best Techno labels in the world. Great to have this charismatic duo on board at Bonzai and no doubt we'll be seeing and hearing more from them in the future. We open the release with the mighty 'DIE V3' which wastes no time in getting into a full-on hard Techno groove. Prepare your speakers for maximum overdrive as pounding kick drums with force their way into your chest alongside an invasive offset bass. Shimmering hats and chaotic percussions join in as snappy snares take us through the motions. Cool vocals and scathing synth stabs highlight the midway point before the final act takes us into oblivion. A monster tune that will not disappoint. 'I'm A Mess' rounds out the release and keeps the high, energetic pace going with a straight up, in-your-face Techno stomper. Heavy, sub-level basses rumble in the low end as punchy, thumping beats, crispy hats and snappy percussions set the rhythms loose. A cool vocal runs through the track, adding a catchy vibe while a cacophony of hard synths wreak havoc within the spectrum. Another smashing banger that is not to be missed.
