Pyramid vs. Specimen A - No Games/Move

Ultra high-spec breaks of the highest level of fluidity, synths going from bottom to top with super smooth gear changes, and a groovy slap bass. You shouldn’t expect anything less from breaks top end operators Pyramid and Specimen A. The buff bodywork may to some ears only be housing a regular breaks engine, but the funkiness resting on a razor’s edge, ploughing through as delighted civilians jump out of the way, brings out No Games’ chunkiness that’s in no way stiff or immobile. And of course there’s that particular Funkatech trait of hitting the drum skin harder than anyone else.
More synth fairy dust and funky bass slaps on Move (again Les Rhythmes Digitales' Make Me Sweat is the first port of call), get roasted by a standard strimmer-bass plonking itself in the DJ booth. Hacking away at recoiling competition, as if Pyramid hasn’t had his fill from The Preacher, it’s topped up with a demonstrative, Dizzee-style vocal snip from the guesting Bobby of Where’s Huey?. Great balls of fire being blown out here, swelling and corkscrewing, and at times on the verge of accelerating into a Back to the Future-style ball of electricity – getting a gyroscopic certificate in chapped cheeks is the thrill-ride that Move delivers. Still with melody as its be all and end all, Pyramid and Spec A pile on the power-ups and create a hulk crashing on through, but importantly, one that doesn’t have the turning circle of an oil tanker.
