A relatively new artist, this talented and really diverse producer/DJ called Gramatik has raised a little bit of dust with his debut track on beatport not too long ago, a remix he did for DJ Vitamin D which made it straight to top 100 electro house chart, ending up in #24 in the end.

Now he’s back with his new solo release on Eighttrax (US), a bangin’ electro house track called One Drink. The track is a straight up club banger, with some fresh jumpy beats and a funky electro bass line that keeps breaking your neck over and over, giving you a somewhat ‘’George Clinton P-Funk’’ feel to it with an electro twist. For the vocals he sampled a female standup comedian which gives a club track a story, which is really rare these days and a lot of times badly done, but he pulled it off quite nicely. The vocal talks about how guys always think that if they buy a woman a drink in the club, they can follow her all night, thinking it’s ‘’gonna happen’’. It gets revealed in 3 parts through the track, building up the story nice and smooth. The break down almost completely changes the feel of the track, introducing different synths in to the mix and a looped vocal cut from Lauryn Hill saying ‘’let me break it down for you again’’ which makes the tension rise nicely and than he brings back the track after the peak, with a nice smooth passage back in to the main bass line and shuffling beats once more, before slowly decreasing towards the end.

In closure I’d say it’s a rich, non-boring & effective club track with a fresh touch that will definitely get your attention and at the same time, get the floor going crazy and wild. The release features a vocal mix as well as the instrumental mix, to satisfy both tastes. Check it out!
