Murdock - Different Way / Rock Hard
Release Date: 24/01/2019
Label: Viper Recordings
Catalog: VPR163
Murdock made waves on Viper Recordings with his debut release on the label ‘Make Me Stronger’ feat. Jenna G and ‘Final Frontier’ feat. Doctrine, which was hotly followed by the anthemic ‘Can’t Keep Me Down’ last spring. Now the Renaissance man that is Murdock is gearing up to release what is sure to be another hit single on the label with ‘Different Way / Rock Hard’.
A man who can boast releases on virtually every drum & bass label, including Hospital, Liquicity, V Recordings, CIA Records, and his own Radar Records, as well as making appearances at every big festival around the world (not to mention founding the world’s biggest drum & bass and dubstep event, Rampage), Murdock is a name that has been synonymous with success for over two decades with no sign of slowing down.
The first side of the single features Errol Dunkley who is the writer & voice behind the legendary reggae track ‘Little Way Different’ that was sampled & brought in to the Jungle /Drum & Bass era in the mid 90's. After hearing Murdock's latest version the legend himself has re sung this iconic vocal for the new 2019 aptly titled 'Different Way' . Alongside such vibrant vocals, Murdock adds a plethora of horns into the mix for an organic, feel-good track that is sure to be yet another classic.
The flip side of the release is ‘Rock Hard’ which shows us the flip side of Murdock, too. With a cinematic opening that successfully sets the stage for the chaos to come, Murdock shows us the art of the intro before delivering a drop that is set to demolish dancefloors the world over. Ominous, eerie, and packed full of energy, there is no doubt ‘Rock Hard’ will become a favourite tool for DJs across the world for months to come.
With such a notable catalogue under his belt already, this single is yet another reflection of Murdock’s impressive and highly diverse abilities, and a welcome addition to the ever growing Viper catalogue.
