The best dance music records are often the ones that seem the most basic. Simple tracks built of little more than a few looped beats, melodies or perfectly-pitched samples, which nonetheless convey tension and emotion through subtle variations in each repeated motif.
Intro, by French musicians Alan Braxe and Fred Falke, is a prime example. Released in 2000 on Braxe’s Vulture Music label, Intro samples its refrain from The Jets’ 1985 hit Crush on You, that main hook augmented by crisp sampled percussion and a silky, grooving bassline played by Falke.
