Corona - Rhythm Of The Night (Haywood Retwerk)

Okay, so this remix from Haywood starts out as a total nostalgia trip for older ravers; I mean come on, Corona? That shit's back from when Jungle music was like, fucking NEW, like WAY back; when you could be coming home from some warehouse party on the dilapidated 90's subway system at four in the morning, flip on your pocket radio (cause everyone had those, right?) and hear Dee-Lite crooning in your ears to go back out and party more.

But then suddenly the track takes a dangerous turn; as the slick well produced style of the current culture come pounding forward with pure satanic 808 power and start slapping against the ground. Yet throughout this solid remix of an old classic, we get the feeling that indeed the old truths still hold there weight; as any DJ could drop this at any party today and every girl would start swaying with familiarity to this classic track (even though most of these chicks were probably like, five years old when Corona was out).

But maybe I'm reading too much into it. Either way this is a solid track, that every DJ in this scene should probably add to his arsenal, for it's not often you get that solid mix of past and present, and it's a choice tool to use at the appropriate moment in a good set. It also makes us wonder if this producer will bring that ear for the past into his projects when he (undoubtedly) begins to venture into original solo tracks, but I guess we can only hope, right?

And while it's currently not available by legal means, perhaps enough appreciation from the scene on Haywood's soundcloud and that 'download' button will magically appear somehow ;)
