"Dooms Night" is the debut single by German DJ and producer Azzido Da Bass, first released in 1999 in Germany. In the UK, the song missed the top 40 until a remix of the song by Timo Maas was released on 9 October 2000; [1] it was this version which gave the song mainstream chart success, reaching number eight on the UK Singles Chart.

Contents

The Timo Maas remix contains a sample from "How Do You Plead?" by French duo Soofle.[ citation needed ] Later, a re-work of the Timo Maas version by English duo Stanton Warriors was also released as a single in 2000, entitled "Dooms Night (Revisited)". Their remix featured updated UK garage-esque beats and vocals by UK ragga MC Slarta John.

Due to the song's popularity, it also made major appearances around the world, including at the MTV Music Awards in 2000, in several American and European commercials, and in the film soundtrack to Be.Angeled  [ de ]. In 2008, various releases of "Dooms Night" featured new remixes by artists such as Laidback Luke, Crookers, Switch, Meck and Lexy & K-Paul.

Reception

In the liner notes of the Kiss mix album Kiss House Nation 2001, Mixmag music editor Matthew Kershaw named the Maas remix among 2000's "uncategorisable" club tracks. He called it "the most surprising, eccentric, adaptable clubland tune of the year" and highlighting its "wub wub wub" hook. [2] In The Village Voice , Simon Reynolds described the remix as Maas' "scene-crossing smash of 2000". [3] He had earlier described it as "a dance record that everybody liked. A tune that was massive in all sorts of divergent and seemingly incompatible scenes. A track that simultaneously worked as a rave anthem, a club classic, an underground monster, a mainstream chart smash. Impossible, you say, no way not in this post-rave era of micro-scenes, niche markets and endless genre subdivision." He highlighted its appeal in the trance, progressive, big beat, urban, 2-step garage scenes and its popularity at Notting Hill Carnival and Berlin's Love Parade. [4]

UK garage, abbreviated as UKG, is a genre of electronic dance music which originated in England in the early to mid-1990s. The genre was most clearly inspired by garage house and jungle production methods, but also incorporates elements from dance-pop and R&B. It is defined by percussive, shuffled rhythms with syncopated hi-hats, cymbals, and snares, and may include either 4/4 house kick patterns or more irregular "2-step" rhythms. Garage tracks also commonly feature 'chopped up' and time-stretched or pitch-shifted vocal samples complementing the underlying rhythmic structure at a tempo usually around 130 BPM.
