Ben Long 'Calling Broadsword' (Jamie Bissmire remix) (EPM Music)
Jamie Bissmire’s remix of Ben Long’s ‘Calling Broadsword’ starts out slightly coyly, but it’s not long before the classic steeping techno beats really kick in and he unleashes some simmering fury. This is heavyweight and slick, and you should get ready for the siren that comes in after the two-and-a-half minute mark; it gives the tune a whole other dimension. A brief breakdown allows some breathing space before we’re thrown back in the mix again.
