Club beats with a temper

"The third single from EBTG's new album, "Temperamental" was almost a generic house number in its album version. The remix geniuses who have worked on it for its single release (Ralphie Rosario, Hex Hector, DJ Spin, Wamdue Project) have reborn the track into a visceral club anthem. Hex takes the song down to its heavy depths, leaving Rosario to accelerate it with a driving bass line. The Wamdue project mixes are more underground, meaning, you could hear this at a cool bar or even Banana Republic. EBTG has really made a sincere committment to dance music and this is one more testament to that."

NOT TO BE MISSED...

"This is an 8 track CD maxi single, containing mixes by Ralphi Rosario, Wamdue Project, and Hex Hector, to name a few. If you are an EBTG fan, this is a must have."

Music is the Drug.

"In the obscure world of dance music, every once in a while, a recording is released which serves as a beacon for the industry. This is one of those recordings. This CD flows from start to finish with an astonishing degree of quality. The entire CD is strongly supported by the lilting, if not haunting, vocals that are interlaced throughout the recording. Supporting the vocals are great beat structures, synth orchestrations, and reverberating sounds. Because of this, the disk is upbeat and contemplative at the same time. This is a rhythmic, melodic, and intelligent piece of dance music that tickles the ears and moves the feet.There are eight cuts in all. The first is the original mix by Ben Watt and Andy Bradfield. This is a great mix, and can be heard in the Amazon sound sample for the Tempermental album.The Ralphi Rosario mix opens with a wicked beat, and moves you through with great synth arrangements.The Hex Hector remex is sort of techno, but warmed up by the vocals. The echoing reverberations make for an interesting cut.The DJ Spen & Karizma version continues the pace, and yields nicely to the ethereal quality of the next few cuts. I hope you enjoy this CD as much as I do. I don't think you'll be disappointed."
