Issued as a 12\" single under catalogue number AZOO006, the release pairs the bass-heavy original “Give It To Me” with a VIP reworking of his earlier track “Offline”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e“Give It To Me” is built around a distinctive robotic vocal sample, heavy electronic bass and hard-edged drums, with plenty of space between the individual elements. That spacious production gives the track a particularly effective dancefloor quality, allowing DJs plenty of room to chop, mix and double-drop it. Contemporary reviews highlighted its unconventional arrangement and powerful low-end as key parts of its appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe AA-side “Offline \u003cspan class=\"text-token-text-primary cursor-text rounded-sm\"\u003e[V.I.P.]\u003c\/span\u003e” takes Clipz's earlier \u003cem\u003eOffline\u003c\/em\u003e production and pushes it into considerably heavier territory. A deceptively simple synth melody gives way to abrasive mid-range bass and an intensely club-focused drop, creating the kind of production designed to cut through a loud drum \u0026amp; bass mix. The VIP was already attracting attention from DJs and listeners around the time of release, becoming a recognised Clipz tune within the late-2000s D\u0026amp;B scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eClipz, the Bristol-based producer also known as Redlight, was an important name in the UK's bass-music underground during this period. His releases on labels including Full Cycle and Audio Zoo helped establish a distinctive approach that could incorporate the energy of jump-up and dancefloor drum \u0026amp; bass without losing its experimental edge. \u003cem\u003eGive It To Me \/ Offline VIP\u003c\/em\u003e is a particularly good example of that sound at its most direct and uncompromising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eFor collectors and DJs, this is a strong 2000s drum \u0026amp; bass 12\"\u003cspan\u003e, particularly appealing to fans of Clipz, Audio Zoo Recordings, Bristol D\u0026amp;B and heavyweight jump-up-influenced bass music.
