Live Long And Prosper



Almost incomparable.



Rarely will you find me championing a tune other than the newest Pryda or Seb Leger release, but months after playing this track over and over again, I'm finding it won't leave my feet or my brain anytime soon. Also, this has nothing to do with Spock at all. Justin Martin and Ardalan's masterpiece of ghetto-tech-house bops along with a warped growl, a deep bassline, and...operatic swells? This sounds like something that belongs right at home on dirtybird: very funky, groovy, with a pounding bassline more reminiscent of hip-hop than house. Either way, those operatic vocals swell, and you know something's about to happen. Then...the drop. The bottom collapses and the most satisfyingly groovy/ghetto bassline drops, and you go nuts. Trust me, if you don't elicit some form of groan while listening to this, you're probably dead inside. A peak-time track if ever there was one, full of novelty but equally full of groove and fun and fresh-ass sounds. And what a drop. Holy crap. You think you've heard them all, and then you hear something better. If this isn't one of the top 5 tunes of the year over at Resident Advisor, I will be extremely disappointed. I recommend multiple listens at max volume, a lot of people, and a LOT MORE BASS.

Enjoy. That's it for the day.
