J-Punch - 'Temple' review on Resident Advisor Excuse my blatant self-promotion but I think J-Punch is amazing and I'm really rather proud of my remix... J-Punch - Temple Label: CP Recordings Style: Progressive Cat Number: CPR007 Release Date: October 2004 The next release on the overly impressive CP Recordings imprint comes from J-Punch and the very energetic Temple. The release has seen early support from James Zabiela and Anthony Pappa in particular, not only helped by the original, but also the solid Paul Lancaster mix on the flip. First up though is the excellent Original Mix that builds quite nicely with some strong drum loops and a deep rumbling baseline. The main vocal line sets the track up from the start and it really does build incredibly with plenty of emotion used. A smooth synth line rides in the track and creates a great aura, especially in the main breakdown late on where the vocal takes the track to a new level, especially when the kick erupts back in. The Paul Lancaster No Escape Mix on the flip is just as smooth but no where near as peak time. The beats have the trademark Lancaster feel – crisp and very clean and bouncy. It has quite a deep feel to it this track, with the vocals riding over quite a minimal build of percussion and drum work. Gritty synths come late into the track giving it an extra dimension and rounding off a very solid package. A very good release here from CP Recordings reminding us once again how good progressive music should be made.
