Eagles Prey – Tonto’s Drum

A raw club classic is flipped three ways from label Gems. This time it’s a 1992 underground classic ‘Tony’s Drum’ from Eagles Prey. 

Created in collaboration by the masterminds at Fat Cat and Apple Records - see also the birthplace of dubstep some 12 years later - this club cut is proud part of UK club legend. 
The original mix is a four-to-the-floor stomper you could picture swiftly shaking your head to in your ski goggles during the hey day of the early 90’s warehouse rave scene. 

It’s got just enough progressive development and energy to make it stand up to a modern mix with today’s productions, but enough of that raw 90’s lineage to keep it in-fitting with the true house-heads. 

The remixes are the icing on the cake. Jim Rivers, dubs-out the track with a washy, big-room, end of the night feel. The Circulation Mix feels airy, light, and atmospheric, whilst Ranj Kaler’s take on the classic utilises the vocals and additional breakbeats to give it a new lease of life.
