Endless Days EP - 11th Hour Recordings ehr006

Release date: February 2009

Tracklist:

11th Hour Recordings is back with ‘Endless Days’, its most dancefloor excursion so far - 4 slamming new techno and electro cuts, starting with the outrageously tough beat and grinding basslines of ‘Kick It’, followed by a stunning high-tech-funk remake by Motech main man and UR assault squad member DJ 3000; who takes the heavy bass of the original and layers on new jazzed out synth hooks and stripped down percussion.
On the flip, ‘Cold Restraint’ is a straight out dancefloor bomb - tough driving percussion threaded with a distorted bleep hook and searing strings, all pushed forward by one of the nastiest basslines around; whilst ‘Down and Out in EC2′ provides a deep, driving and endlessly shifting electro workout.

This release is already getting rave reviews from press and public worldwide, with DJ magazine making it ‘Electro single of the month’ Feb 09 and Update naming it ‘Essential single of the month’, as well as featuring in M8, Fact, Mixmag and many others. It is getting strong DJ support from Laurent Garnier,UR, Fabrice Lig, Mark Broom and many more…

Available in standard black and limited edition white vinyl, and digitally.

Amazing! Matt continues to be an inspiration to us all. Love 3000’s remix but the main track for me is definitely ‘Cold Restraint’. Very reminiscent of a certain Atkins track but completely brought up to date. Will be charting, a possible number one?? (5 out of 5) - Terry Mitchell (Dark House Music, D-Edge)
‘I like this one a lot, a1 and a2 are the favs. nice and rich production.’ - Hakan Lidbo (Container)
‘The EP is wicked!!! My favorite track is the DJ 3000 remix. I would love to play the hack out of it!’ - Kenny Black (Finest Blend)
