Strap in
Dense & Pika 'Cartoon Heart' (Slam remix) (Kneaded Pains)
Slam take on remix duties for Dense & Pika’s ‘Cartoon Heart’, which lands on the latter’s Kneaded Pains label. The ominous atmosphere is perfectly complemented by the darkside slamming beats; it’s an uncomplicated slice of techno that operates on its ability to keep everyone nodding furiously, with a few core elements working off each other to make this an instant classic. Slam are masters of this kind of techno, and produce a faultless rework of D&P’s original.
