*"Serengeti," released back in 2011, was composed by Silk Music Label Director Jacob Henry and enigmatic international composer Coastal, during a weekend sojourn by the latter in Philadelphia. The track kicks off with an aggressive groove, while a variety of arp lines and tremolo'ed woosh effects fill out the soundscape. The energy of the tune is reinforced soon thereafter by a series of multi-layered Oberheim pads. Yet, the central themes of the tune do not emerge until the main break: a variety of awe-inspiring African chant samples, soaring above a roaring bassline progression. In the drop to follow, the bass is reinforced with an additional sub layer and the lead melody is spiced up with a more dynamic note variation.*
A classic! One of the early choons that got me into prog house. Wish Jacob & Colin would team up for another banger. Gets me moving like few other pieces, great stuff!
fun fact: every section in this song aside from the 8 seconds at the end is 2 minutes long 00:00 intro 02:00 offdrop...? 04:00 drop 06:00 outro 08:00 fade out into nothingness

I don't think Silk Music is capable of releasing something I don't like
You're too kind, Chesto -- thank you, brother.
Chesto Amen to that!
