John O'Callaghan - Raw Deal [2011]

[dmgtz96]

Tech-trance from one of the kings of the sub-genre. Although Raw Deal lacks a melodic climax and instead replaces it with a "farty bassline" part, I still can't get over the sheer energy of the build-up. Any producer who wants to learn to build tension during a breakdown and buildup should hear this track.

Huge one! I also always liked the Revolution 9 remix quite a lot.

This has grown on me a lot. At first I didn't like it, now I love it. Same with a few other tracks from Unfold.

Good track.
I have the feeling that for these producers making a melodic climax was like "the floor is lava." Let's do everything we can to avoid the melodic climax, haha.
