De Sluwe Vos 'Basement Work Out III' (Unknown To The Unknown)
Sometimes there’s no need to be conceptual with one’s music – just a simple outlook and a name that tells you what the track is all about will often suffice. That’s what we reckon De Sluwe Vos was doing when he made this dancefloor cruncher. ‘Basement Work Out III’ powers through its duration with no-nonsense aplomb, just rugged rhythms and hefty squared-off bass. Midway through, De Sluwe uses the old trick of slowing things down, a la ‘French Kiss’, giving us a breather before he continues to bang it out.
