David Forbes - Riptide
Release October 19th

A man never short of a dramatic title or two, after last month’s  ‘Collider’, here’s David Forbes with another zero-nonsense floor-connector in the form of ‘Riptide! 

With it’s tornado-class tempo, rivet-tough drums & percussion lines, and bleepily engaging sub-riff, ‘Riptide’ touches down on the floor with intent! 

At its midpoint David opens the track up Grand Canyon wide, serving it with a harmonically pad & chord soaked drop, which break-side feeds off into radiant synth shafts and crowd inflaming shouts. 

Cocked, locked and more than ready to rock, he re-engages the drums, lowers the LFO and pushes it on to critical mass! A sure-fire post-summer blues-beater, ‘Riptide’ drops large on Oct 19th

VANDIT Records is an international, independent record label with its artists and their musical visions in the spotlight.

NO ART WITHOUT ARTISTS – this simple sounding manifest is basic principle at VANDIT. Established in Berlin in 1999, the label quickly captured attention not just within the capital city borders but worldwide. With a huge impact on the scene, it grew to one of the most important international labels with huge loyal fan base, label parties and own radio show.
In 2010, two of the most prestigious labels in dance music — Paul van Dyk’s legendary VANDIT imprint and Dutch record company Armada Music — announced a new joint venture. With a burgeoning release schedule for 2010 and 2011 already in place, the Berlin‐based VANDIT team will remain responsible for the label’s A&R and artist development as both entities prepare to take the imprint into the next decade.

Wow, hadn't realised what a journey SoundCloud would take me on.  After many years of passive listening to music I've dieted on a variety of tastes. My appetite for new sounds is undiminished and SC provides plenty of food. I am not a musician and have only recently started to listen positively to the sounds. My early years began listening to music from ABC, The Beatles, The Carpenters Dire Straits Eagles Fleetwood Mac Genesis Elton John Led Zeppelin Gilbert O'Sullivan Rod Stewart Supertramp Tangerine Dream Vangelis The Who and many more.
If you can't spot a trend in my current likes it may be because it is diverse. I love listening to all my playlists which contain tracks that I like and if you like any of the music you must thank the artists not me.
