Alright, let’s rip into this one. Floating Away by ReCollect—yeah, that Drum n Bass banger from 2013—isn’t your run-of-the-mill electronic album. This thing doesn’t mess around; it punches you in the face with beats sharp enough to cut glass and drops so heavy they’ll rattle your fillings loose. The UK crew behind it knew what they were doing, no doubt about it.
First off, gotta shout out Trevor Clark for producing this beast. Dude didn’t just slap some loops together—he crafted something raw, gritty, and alive. And Brian Speice? That artwork is legit. It fits like a glove: dark, abstract, but weirdly hypnotic, kinda like the music itself. Props to Dirt, Lies & Audio Black too—they didn’t censor this vibe at all. You can feel every ounce of sweat and sleepless nights poured into these tracks.
Now, onto the tunes themselves. Let’s talk “Floating Away” (the OG mix). Holy hell, this track hits HARD. From the first beat, it grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. There’s this tension-building intro—you’re waiting, breath held, wondering when the drop’s gonna hit. Then BAM! It explodes into chaos. The bassline is filthy as fuck, grinding against your ears like steel on asphalt. Every layer screams precision without losing its edge. I remember spinning this late at night, windows down, pissing off my neighbors because HOW COULD YOU NOT? If you don’t nod your head to this, check your pulse—you might be dead.
And then there’s the remix—or wait, nah, scratch that. Actually, it’s the same damn song again, but who cares?! They tweak it just enough to keep things fresh. Same killer energy, slightly different vibes. Honestly, if you only had two tracks to make an impact, this duo nails it. No filler here, just pure adrenaline-pumping madness.
Here’s the kicker though: after blasting this album on repeat, I started thinking... why’d they stop at two tracks? Was it laziness? Budget issues? Or maybe they knew perfection couldn’t be topped? Either way, it leaves you hungry for more—which is both frustrating AF and kinda brilliant. Like biting into a burger so good you wanna cry—but realizing someone stole half of it before you got there.
So yeah, Floating Away. Not perfect, not long, but goddamn does it pack a punch. If you love Drum n Bass with teeth, grab this ASAP. Just don’t blame me when your speakers blow up.
