DJR – Ten 44

Hoping one of the repress groups take this on, awesome tune & id love to add it to the box, but screw the scalpers.

Ten 44 also samples the riding beat from Open Sesame by Leila K.

I first heard this back in '93 when I was lucky enough to DJ alongside Carl Cox. It was one of his peak-time tunes and it tore the roof off! My copy is a jewel in my collection!!

It is all about Ten 44 as mentioned below. Classic Breakbeat track and very typical from the 92-93 era. Some diamonds came out back then and Ten 44 is certainly one of them. From the Awesome, Awesome Record label. Cat no's SL 001-SL 034 Class!.

Ten 44 samples 'Thompson Twins - Come Inside ( Max House Mix)'

I can't believe no one has written a review on this quality 12".
Awesome records produced some of the best hardcore breakbeat records of 1993 and this has to be up there with the best of them.
Tracks B1 and B2 are great to add to this release, but this was all about the track "Ten 44".
With a nice stompy kick drum running throughout the track and some classic drum loops it breaks down into a hands in the air piano and "that" classic sinewave bassline.
But it dont stop there as the next breakdown has an unbelievable almost haunting stab that just excels the track further. It eventually breaks down into a half time part which just allows you to catch breath! A fantastic release which is very well sequenced and arranged. This is a very sought after tune and no one is usually willing to sell. But if you do manage to get a copy you wont be let down...
