Jay Tripwire: Khettoroid Label: Decay Records

Jay Tripwire is one of the biggest names in dance music and he was formerly a guest at KZSU on the Big Love Show. Back in those days, he was heavy into playing acid-house & tech-house - but his style has now gotten a much more European feel to it with more layered synths. However, Tripwire has not abandoned his moody and dark style. He also teams up with Dave Pezzner to do a very nice remix as well. Both cuts are very good.

1. 8:46 (Dave Pezzner Remix) - Seattle's Dave Pezzner is a highly sought-after remixologist who lends his touch to Jay's track and transforms it. It starts out dark like Jay's track did, but somehow Pezzner is able to lighten it up and make it more airy. I think it's the smooth synth layers that he adds. Good stuff.
2. 9:24 (Original) - Tripwire's signature sound, a heavy beat and dark mysterious buzzing atmosphere, punctuated by hints of acid. This is a good dark techy track with a very sinister mood.
