JG Alim - Chicken Neck (Quimika Records)
Release Date: November 30th, 2007
Reviewed: 8/10
User Rating: 4.4/5

‘Chicken Neck’, the 2nd release on new Uruguayan label Quimika, comes courtesy of Canadian/UK based club promoter Justin Gettings AKA JG Alim.

The Original starts with a techy-bleepy 4/4 riff, gradually building with more percussion layers and synth sounds. A good steady mid-set rhythm emerges and a heavily reverbed, echoey vocal – “This is the music” - provides a simple and effective focal point for the track. Sounds develop and gel together creating a quality progressive groover that builds and drops very well. Nice!

Colin C (AKA Consoul/Slighter/The Pushers/Deeptone) provides the only remix in the package. A 4/4 beat, nice percussion work, a deep throbbing bass, and a build up of thick quirky stabs and keys toughens the original up considerably. The vocal gives dramatic urgency to the feel of the track, creating an edgy atmosphere. Sounds flash in and out, then grab you and shake you around as the mood intensifies…Big room beats plod along and get the floor grooving!

Overall, no real downsides to this release, not quite a ‘huge’ ‘anthem’ track, and only one remix, but definite quality, and the vocals and steady production make sure this track will hold its own out there on the dancefloor. A Sound release for Quimika… look forward to more in the future!
