Aside from Cloud 9 who I assume everyone is familiar with, this track was also made by a group called &#8220;2 Boasters, A Digestive and a Jammy Dodger&#8221; &#8211; if that name doesn&#8217;t scream &#8220;oldskool sillyness&#8221; I don&#8217;t know what does. Despite the name, this group (possibly Gavin + affiliated producers?) actually have a great track record with releases &#8211; all three of them  are excellent and seem to have been quite well received at the time. Their earlier track &#8220;We are about to take LSD&#8221; is a definite jam, though with that sample playing over and over cut with a snippet of Orbital &#8220;Chime&#8221;, it&#8217;s hard to imagine it NOT smashing up the raves!! <\/p>\n<p>Though still quite playable, even for a 92 tune &#8220;The traitor&#8221; certainly isn&#8217;t winning any fidelity awards. As usual, I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s my copy, the needles, or the track itself. That hardly matters though, as the music is great- starting with classic outlander vamp piano stabs (used similarly to K90 &#8211; Bass 1999, though this probably came out first), a bunch of breaks are layered on top and it begins to sound like a fun, messy, functional 92 ardcore banger&#8230; at least for the first 1:45.  After that, a record scratching sound leads into a lenghty orchestral section accompanied with moody pads, squelchy synths and a less mental piano part. The track finally resolves itself back to banging rave at the end, all in all though it&#8217;s a quite well put together tune that I&#8217;m sure plenty of people will remember.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/2-Boasters-Featuring-Cloud-9-DJ-Pedro-The-Traitor\/release\/141485\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogtotheoldskool.com\/blog\/images\/2_boasters.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>\n<del datetime=\"2013-06-24T19:27:52+00:00\">2 Boasters Featuring Cloud 9 &#038; DJ Pedro \u2013 The Traitor Judas Mix<\/del><br \/><i><A href=\"http:\/\/www.digital-tunes.net\/releases\/from_the_vaults_of_daddy_armshouse_records_volume_1\">(Audio taken down because it&#8217;s now for sale digitally &#8211; click here to listen\/purchase!)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back to the 92s, here&#8217;s a bit of a Top Buzz classic.
