Kevin Krahel Track review These are tracks that I am reviewing for inclusion into a new mp3.com station exclusively for [313] members. Instead of just cramming all the tracks up there, I decided to review them and provide accurate info about each one. Unfortunately, this leads to a station full of tracks that I enjoy (mostly Detroit), but hey. I'm doing the station! :) I didn't have time to listen to them all yet, so I just checked the Detroit tracks this time... "Changeling..." Ok, where can I buy this track on vinyl. This Kevin Krahel is someone who obviously is very familiar with Detroit Style electronic music. I can feel Carl Craig and Derrick May influence all over this track. The lead synth slow down in the middle is sweet! "Moody" Starts off with off-tempo drums, tricking the listener into thinking the Kev doesn't know what he's doing. That's my style and I'm moody as well! Uh oh, here comes the bass-line. Nice, heavy, and beautifully offset by a nice lead stab. No way! Old school stuff kickin' in here! This track is moody. I'm talkin' old school snare/kick break down with old school stab-line and record scratch included. Don't really care for the linearly, upword-sloping, stab pattern, but hang on here comes a break down. I'll get back to you in a second... Niiiiiiiiice change up brother. This song takes an uppity track and transforms it into lo profile, ufo landing-type of groove. Very nice addition to the station. "Internal" O.k. I've heard this before. I think I've seen this track on the charts. Once again a nice display of Detroit style knowledge all the way from Texas. I'd like to get this track on vinyl. It would be a nice transition track. Hey cool vox. I like when the heavy beat kicks in 3/4 a way thru the song. This guy is good with the keys... "In My Hair" This one has some funk to it. Nice, funky, bass-guitar bassline is always a good way to start off a track, IMHO. It is nicely offset by soft triangle noises. This track is very full.
Overall, "Changeling" is my fav. Or maybe "Moody" is my fav. Eh, they are both great tracks. Check them out if you haven't already... www.mp3.com/kevinkrahel Wraith313 www.mp3.com/wraith313 -Keep it real.
