Released – 2nd May 2008

I’m really pleased with this tune. It’s less commercial than the others and has already received good support from a number of respected DJs. There are 2 mixes:-

Do it – Acid Mix
Do it – Bump Mix

The Acid mix is my favourite. Once again, i used the ‘bassline‘ plug from audiorealism to create the 303 sounds. Also, the microkorg extensively, to create a lot of the synth sounds as well as the vocoder. The beats are deliberately trashy in places, such as the snare fills, but also pretty tuff and as minimal as i could manage!

The following reactions have come in already:

ALTUS – Do It

Daniele ‘Black Box’ Davoli – 10/10 “been testing this tune for a while, and i can assure you it works the business, whatever remix you pick!”

Ian David Pickering – 9/10 “This rocks man I am sure this will have everybody rocking too.”

Jon Mancini – 8/10 good solid house track”

Jerry Bouthier – 7/10 “groovin & rollin thank u for sending”

Mike Pickering – 7/10 “like this will play it”

Russ Holborough – 7/10 “great groove”

Alan Tomlinson – 7/10 “Gonna work really well on the floor…”

Trent Cantrelle – 6/10 “i always love acid.. will give it a spin..”

This tune came out on the 25th April 2008.

you can listen to it (and buy it!) here:

I wrote the vocals but this time handed the singing to a talented girl called Taneta This is a more commercial track but, hopefully, still credible. It sounds pretty fresh and has a classic house style piano hook on the original mix. The electro mix is more edgy with some rasping synth sounds created using Native Instruments – Massive. Definitely the plug of the moment for many dance tunes.

There’s 4 mixes:-
Original mix
Electro mix
Dub mix
Radio edit

It’s available through iTunes too. Just search for Altus and it will come up.

i also created an instrumental version of the original mix – this came too late to be included in the release, so I’m giving it away as a DJ promo. You can download it for free below:
