I Wasn’t Always This Way (Jak Mix)

Press release:

HOBD is Nathan Drew Larsen’s new project. Mr. Larsen is
responsible for some of the most unique and interesting
house music to come out in the past few years. He’s had
releases and remixes on NRK, 2020 Vision, Hooj Choons,
Cyclo, RZ, Airtight, Simple Soul and Afterhours. He has
also produced a string of amazing singles and EP’s for us
including our very first release! Here Nathan’s got his
sights set on some big room sleaziness. Don’t get the
wrong impression when you read ‘big room’; there’s
nothing formulaic or typical about these tracks. This
record has been written with the singular idea to rock dance
floors but both versions are oozing with Nathan’s almost
fetishistic attention to detail. The Telectro Mix is built
around a louder-than-bombs FM bass line. Spoken words are
peppered over the track and a sax (played by Nathan) floats
eerily in the middle adding a warm layer to an otherwise
insistent almost robotic groove. The Jak Mix is as swinging
as the Telectro Mix is straight. Bass warbles, stabs and
fluttering shakers jut and bubble at odd times sounding like
a jazz drummer whose been forced to play alien kitchen
utensils. The track starts minimally and builds subtly so
when the crescendo does finally happen it invariably causes
mayhem with audiences. Both mixes have already ignited the
imaginations of DJ’s like James Holden, David Duriez,
Damian Lazarus, Lee Burridge and Three

DJ Reactions:

“This tune is killer! I played the Jak Mix at the Ten
Days Off festival on Saturday and it destroyed them. Well
done.“ – Damian Lazarus (Crosstown Rebels)

“Thanks for the new track, really digging the Jak mix.
Perfect 4am dark vibe….” – Chris Duckenfield

“Really feeling both versions of

What is this, create an account to Spam XLT week?

If you're going to spam your tracks, at least post links
that work. Cheers.

Thanks for sharing your music, I listened to both tracks 5
times each, my brain thoughs are as thus

I Wasn’t Always This Way (Telectro Mix) - I'd like to hear
the original mix but this Telectro mix (a combination of
classic Electro sounds and the Teletubbies) drop kicks dance
music straight into the kindergarten with a glam rock rivet
gun. The beat, kicking off at 5/9 then going up to 600 bpm
12/73 time would make any party seem like a riot in a
Turkish knife market. The camel chorus gives the ambient
fade out a sombre air 3.5/5

I Wasn’t Always This Way (Jak Mix) is a kicking revamp of
the already legendary I Wasn’t Always This Way (Radio
Edit), Jockey Sluts and B-Boy Fuckhorns will already be
intimitly aquainted with the bass line recorded in a Boeing
wind tunnel and the rhythm lifted wholesale from the theme
tune to "Are you being served?" Guest MC Dogg Distemeper
provides lacksidasical musings over gun crime, owls, and
municiple safety regulations. Fucking 6/8.

even if you consider his almost fetishistic attention to
detail?
