The Ghost / The Ghost (Headhunter Remix)
XI

Orca Recordings was created to deliver music built for the dance-floor that retains its integrity by pushing creative and production standards to a new level. Operating out of North London, Orca is set to represent forward-thinking artists who are influenced by, but not restricted to, the many strands of UK bass music. Created by one of the promoters of the ‘Seasonfive’ event in Bristol, Orca has also been formed to document the style and variety of music made at this exciting and innovative time in electronic music where so many genres are being blended together. The first release comes from X.I, one of the most exciting producers in bass music today. The track, named ‘The Ghost’ captures the exact sentiment and ethos of Orca. Right from the start XI creates an instant vibe with a short and energetic intro before the simple yet highly effective drum pattern and tough sub work out release this tracks potential. Frequent changes in synth lines and detailed edits are brought together by a captivating vocal sample, sure to be remembered by the heads once they’ve left the club.
On the flip, Headhunter demonstrates exactly why he is one of the most sought after producers as he puts his unique touch onto his remix of ‘The Ghost’. Headhunter’s trademark razor sharp drums and expertise help draw attention to the amount of space he has created in this track, creating an unequalled sense of paranoia, making it perfect for both the club and headphone listening. The delayed synth chords, snarling mid-range and the volatile movement of the pad combine with the power of the sub to give a meditational, eyes down vibe, now an uncommon commodity in UK bass music. Strong DJ support has come from across the board, and includes: Mary Anne Hobbs, Icicle, Loefah, Youngsta, Hatcha, Appleblim, Ramadanman, Hyetal amongst many more..
