Despite Nomad being pretty far from jungle\/hardcore, this record isn&#8217;t the only connection Nomad have to oldskool stuff. Steve McCutcheon (1\/3 of the group) actually did a number of classic hardcore projects on Elicit including <a href=\"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/?p=115\">Bubbles<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/blogtotheoldskool.com\/?p=2780\">DJ Splix<\/a>, and The Psychopaths.  Oh yeah, he also did a hardcore rave remix of Tetris \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>This remix is much later though &#8211; 95 intro pads, some lighter beats (cold sweat break) leading to the &#8220;wanna give you devotion&#8221; vocal (which actually sounds quite nice here) , before well chopped, layered and pitch shifted breaks drop in.  Not super involved, but all the elements are really nice especially for a bootleg release.  The artist behind it (Def 7) was also responsible for a remix of Formula 7 on the euro presses of &#8220;Dance With Me&#8221; and a few others, leading me to believe he might be based out of Germany? Either that or it&#8217;s just an alias of Formula 7.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Nomad-I-Wanna-Give-You-Devotion-Drum-Bass-Mixes\/release\/592627\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogtotheoldskool.com\/blog\/images\/nomad.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>\n<A href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Nomad - Devotion (Hard Step Mix).mp3\">Nomad &#8211; Devotion (Hard Step Mix)<\/a><br \/><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-3813-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/blog\/audio\/Nomad%20-%20Devotion%20(Hard%20Step%20Mix).mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Nomad%20-%20Devotion%20(Hard%20Step%20Mix).mp3\">\/blog\/audio\/Nomad%20-%20Devotion%20(Hard%20Step%20Mix).mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry about the delay in posting&#8230; laptop dying so I&#8217;ve been working on fixing it + busy w\/ other misc stuff.
