Omar Santana - No Mercy (7 / 10)
woensdag 22 augustus 2007
Early Rave,Hardcore (H2oh Recordings)
| | Als ik aan iemand vraag om enkele Amerikaanse hardcore djs op te noemen dan zal ik in ieder geval 3 namen te horen krijgen; Rob Gee, dj Delirium en Omar Santana. Als ik daarbij nog zou zeggen dat hij een eigen hardcore label bezit dan is de kans dat je Omar Santana zegt, toch wel heel groot. Deze grootmeester uit de USA is er terug met een nieuw album genaamd No Mercy.
De eerste cd is opvallend weinig soloprojecten van onze Amerikaanse vriend of het zijn remixen. Dus bespreek ik inde eerste plaats zijn soloprojecten namelijk nummer 1, Hardstreet Shit, en nummer 13, Break It Down. Beide nummers zijn aan elkaar gewaagd met de typische bassen waarvoor H2OH Records toch bekent voor staat. Beide nummers zijn zeer melodieuze nummers waarna de break die typische bassen en kicks het werk afmaken. Voor deze cd is Hardstreet Shit het ideale nummer om te starten door het niet al te traag tempo en de melodie. Bij het tweede nummer geeft Omar Santana er onmiddellijk een dikke lap op door het bpm gehalte in de hoogte te laten schieten (het is eigenlijk het snelste nummer van deze cd ). Dit nummer heeft hij samen met een nieuw talent namelijk Nyocore gemaakt. Deze Nederlander staat er maar liefst 4 maal op deze cd. 2 maal met Omar Santana, 1 maal met een remix en 1 maal met the Guardian (50% of Serial Killaz). Niet alleen Nyocore en the Guardian werkten mee aan deze album, ook tha headbanger, dione, Javi Boss, Quarternion en de H2OH Dj Squad. Met tekens die eigenschapjes van de guest producer die de nummers afmaken en ook herkenbaar maken.
Bij de volgende cd was ik toch wel benieuwd omdat bijna alle titels van de nummers mij bekend kwamen en mijn vermoeden was dan ook juist. De hele 2de cd zijn oude of minder recente die Omar Santana heeft uitgebracht. Daar het toch al een tijdje geleden is dat Omar Santana nog een album heeft uitgebracht is het dan ook onmiddellijk een goeie gelegenheid om de nieuwe generatie hardcore liefhebbers te horen brengen wat deze artiest allemaal gepresteerd heeft in het verleden. Grote classics zoals Bone Bastik, You shall die en Old to the new (feat the Prophet) passeren de revue maar ook recentere platen zoals Demon Seed, Smash The walls (feat. Dj Sabotage) en Get Straight to it, hebben een plekje op deze cd gekregen.
Conclusie: Dit album is een typisch Amerikaans album geworden met veel guest producers op vooral de eerste cd, Wat toch even wennen is maar daarom ook niet slecht. Je krijgt een zeer gevarieerde album waar verschillende stijlen en snelheden door elkaar zijn gehaald. Over het algemeen is de album melodieus maar door de samen werkingen met o.a. the Headbanger en dione valt dit niet echt op. De tweede cd is volledig gewijd aan oude nummers van Omar Santana, wat toch wel leuk is want hierdoor krijg zo een greatest hits gevoel en krijgt de nieuwe generatie te horen wat deze Amerikaan al gepresteerd heeft (alhoewel dit niet op 1 cd te krijgen is) in het verleden.
