Slam - Staccato Rave

Staccato Rave is the ideal tune for filling the dancefloor. With its sharp, rumbling bass stabs, gritty scraping drumming and pulsing synth, this track is perfectly named. Everything in this track blends together nicely, and images of a packed dancefloor throbbing to this song easily come to mind. However, this might not be as good if you're listening to it at home. It's repetitive stuff and at over eight minutes long does not translate well to the home environment. Remixes from Adam Beyer and Silicone Soul pad out this release, and while each lends its own style, they're essentially more of the same. [Michael Slevin]
