Mixmag Single of the Month: John B “Mr. Freud/Red Sky”
October 13, 2008
John B
Red Sky/Mr Freud (Beta)
“Hands in the air Magic”
A few years back Mixmag’s cover CD ‘Trance & Bass’ became one of our most popular ever, its sucess down to John B’s beleif that jungle, trance and electro can work together. His new 12″ is pure trancey D&B gold, with tight production, breakdowns dripping with euphoric sparkliness & drops as heavy as anything from Ram Records. A unique sound from a real Maverick. 4/5

This is John B’s first solo single since last year’s critically acclaimed electro drum & bass album Electrostep.
Mr. Freud has already had 160,000 plays on John Bs Myspace player, and is John B back at his best, fusing hard D&B beats with luxurious trancey strings, a heavy electrohouse-influencd B-line, and sleazy electroclash-style vocals & roboVocoders. It?s a dirty beast, a stand-out electrohouse-meets-D&B anthem, refreshingly different and another John B-designed genre-busting new direction for D&B.
Red Sky brings John back to the epic Trance & Bass style he pioneered with hits like Up all Night & Electrofreek! but with an updated production style for 2008. Shaz Sparks beautiful vocals compliment the fluid, euphoric trance textures. Grand piano & huge anthemic pads that Armin Van Buuren would be proud of are contrasted by a monstrous, grimey racecar reese bassline and heavy neurofunk groove, still smashing it in a DJ-friendly Drum&Bass framework.
