Details: Gridlock is Digweed and Muir at their contemporary best, a haunting ride that combines their trademark production with an edgier technique.
“Nick and I started work on the track earlier this year and had every intention of it being a single” says John “But it just grew and grew ending up at a whopping 25 minutes, so we hit upon the idea of marrying it to the next instalment of my Transitions compilation series as a bonus disc.”
However on completion, the obligatory test plays to friends and a few key bods suggested they were on to something very special indeed. John elaborates: “We realised it would be a shame to only release the extended 25-minute mix as part of the album so Nick and I went back into the studio to lay down two new, shorter versions more suited to clubs.”
“You have to catch the balance, dance floors are responding to a more twisted, darker sound these days” says John. “We wanted to capture that essence, whist at the same time stay true to our previous productions.”
And they’ve succeeded, the result is a truly outstanding blend of dislocated melodies, driving bass, ethereal vocals and a breakdown of immense proportions that had them jumping whilst John road-tested the ‘Stereo’ mix throughout a recent American tour. “It was very rewarding getting such a great reaction from a crowd who didn’t know the track” says John, “Let alone the fact it’s my latest offering”.
