Kryder – Crocodile Tears [Axtone Records]

When it comes to groovy tracks, you really can’t beat the groove cartel’s leader, Kryder. The London native has proven himself time and again as the master of the genre, while wearing the hats of DJ, producer, and head of the Sosumi Records label. Kryder has made his fans wait almost a full year for “Crocodile Tears,” as it first surfaced last August. This track really contains all of the trademarks that mark a Kryder track, and also show why fans have waited all this time for “Crocodile Tears”. Most people tend to focus on the content of the bassline when listening to groovy house tracks, but Kryder takes this record in a bit of a different direction. With more progressive vibes, Kryder brings in an important melody in the first breakdown that you will hear throughout the song. The thing is, that melody never gets annoying or repetitive as Kryder has finessed that chord progression to sound good in all situations. Of course, the drop brings that perfect quantity of bass that Kryder is renowned for. Kryder and Axtone really kept us waiting, but the quality on “Crocodile Tears” makes every single minute of that wait well worth it.
