Saul B & Charles Poulin - Inthouse (Kickroach Recordings)
Release Date: April 29th, 2008
Reviewed: 4.0/5
User Rating: 3.8/5

Inthouse, the recent collaborative effort between Saul B & Charles Poulin on Kickroach, brings us two high-energy prog cuts, but wait… something’s missing.

On the original, pitch sweeping pads, sparkly e-piano chords, and an acidic bassline, work together to build that big, full, and energetic sound. The rising pitch of the pads urging you to prepare for takeoff is a nice touch. The structure is a little unconventional with the lack of a drop or breakdown, but that could be a nice change of pace for DJs working on extended progressive build-ups in their sets. The fullness of sound in Inthouse (original) is nice but might not be very conducive to much layering with another track until very near the end.

The Saul B Remix is the pick of the litter with its darker driving proggy b-line and sci-fi tinged pad and leads. The added percussion helps boost the energy a notch or two. As with the original there is no breakdown, and again I find this refreshing and useful in a progressive set. This mix has a longer more protracted outro for layering.

Both Inthouse versions are decent and likeable, and it’s nice to see that some new prog producers are moving away from the old formulas, in particular, those energy-killing, sleepy-ass breakdowns in the middle of every song.
