Voltage - Music Is The Answer

That vocal sample is older than half the people who’ll rave to this, and Voltage knows exactly what he’s doing dragging it back out. Music Is The Answer flips a house anthem hook into jump-up territory, and the contrast between the euphoric vocal and the gurning bassline underneath is the whole joke and the whole appeal. The drop at 1:05 is pure serotonin, the kind of obvious arms-up moment you’re not supposed to admit you love and love anyway. Voltage builds these things for a specific room at a specific hour, sweaty and past the point of caring, and it works because he commits completely. I clocked the bassline doing three different patterns in the first drop alone, which is more effort than jump-up usually bothers with. There’s nothing subtle here and there doesn’t need to be. Sometimes the answer really is a massive vocal over a heavier-than-necessary bass, played to a room full of people who already agree. Made for the function, and it’ll do the job every time.
