D-Clash

Plus 8

Buy: Juno

Originally released on Carl Cox’s Intec label, ‘D-Clash’ was part of Bryan
Zentz’s Seven Breaths album debut in 2003. A tribute to the Yamaha TX81Z
synth and its famous “Lately Bass” preset that personified Detroit techno
for Zentz, the track was Zentz’s attempt to compose something that captured
his first experience of driving into the Motor City and seeing the skyline,
combining a harder contemporary loop vibe with a classic Detroit sound.

‘D-Clash’ is now given a second life on Plus 8 via this remix by Plus
8/Minus’s Irish newcomer Matador, who re-discovered the track whilst
searching for inspiration from his favourite records one night in his
studio. At the suggestion of his friend & fellow producer Perc, he decided
to rework the track, which now sees a release with the blessing of the
original’s creator.

Zentz: “Im really excited that Matador gave D-Clash a new life. He kept
things intact but put it in a new perspective and context – a proper remix
for sure. I already liked his music from Sleaze and Trapez, so its great to
hear his take on it and have it released on Plus 8!”
