Live Review: LISTEN: Trumpdisco 'War Horn' (Airwolf Remix)

I believe this is what they call a “banger” in the common vernacular. Melbourne-based producer Justin Erougian, known better as AIRWOLF, released this new Trumpdisco remix last week with the following warning: “Something a little different from my usual sound”... Yeah, just a bit.

The track is “all killer, no filler”, and fans of his dreamy, richly-layered sound will be surprised to note just how much he’s cut to the chase on this one, with none of his usual sweetly drawn-out build-up and a shit-tonne more bass to contend with. There are, of course, the usual late-Nineties and early-Naughties influences, but ultimately there’s something far more modern about this particular track, and the end result is a lot less “house” and definitively more “drum & bass”.

I’m going to speculate that other influences might include a sprinkle of WHAT SO NOT, maybe even a touch of DIPLO, but thankfully the track flaunts something very unique of AIRWOLF with it’s carefully constructed rise and fall.

The track is available for free download via AIRWOLF's Soundcloud, and it’s the perfect soundtrack for pre-drinking, partying, and other things you might just regret in the morning.
