Loxy & Dylan - Death March (Renegade Hardware, 2001)
Dylan has a history of reinterpreting classics with remixes of Joey Beltram's 'Energy Flash', Moby's 'Go!' and Second Phase's 'Mentasm' (as 'Spasm'). While this one from the Nightmare EP with Loxy isn't a remix of Jumping Jack Frost's 'Pornography' it takes inspiration from that tune with its pitchshifted use of the "Feel/Fill me" vocal from Loleatta Holloway's 'Love Sensation'.
It opens with bongos alongside dark atmospherics from the depths of hell before the Assembly Line break comes in with its distinctive "Huh!"s and is shortly joined by the Sesame Street break. The drums also get pitchshifted up and down, alternating between each bar, while the drop brings in a pounding bassline. The Holloway vocal is regularly repeated and is later accompanied by a familiar "Dubplate" vocal. This tune's all about the frantic second half though when warped mentasm stabs arrive as it attempts to live up to its doom-laden title.
'Death March' is available to download directly from Renegade Hardware. Check the track out in this set from Loxy & Ink recorded in October 2000:
