You know you’re doing something very, very right when you get regular Radio 1 airplay and you’ve signed music to Running Back, Permanent Vacation and Correspondant. Then again, Alan Dixon has long been a name on the edge of big-time success, marked out as one to watch by industry taste-makers including Mixmag, Defected and Traxsource. A rock kid until he stepped into a club at 16 and thought ‘this is it,’ Alan initially made a name for himself in his native North East of England before becoming one of the Ministry of Sound resident DJs in Singapore for several years. You know you’re onto a winner when your supporters range from The Chemical Brothers to Bicep, from Job Jobse to Gerd Janson, the latter who is also on remix duty here. Little is known of the illusive Dorothy, also affectionately known as Django the Bastard. Word is he resides in a secret studio in El Santoro, Los Angeles. Bronx Warriors is a pumping disco banger from Dixon and Dorothys Fortress. You get the disco hit in seconds as the song starts with some sequenced bass stabs and the classic four to the floor beat. As the beat intensifies, the sound fills every space in the mix and build up to a wonderful melody which screams disco and dance. Moving around your ears the production is top shelf and as the beat drops, every layer that has been teased bursts to life as the drums find power and placement in the centre of the mix. To bring the song round full circle, some rhythmic house keys join the party to add one last punch and get you moving. The dynamics and teasers in this song work wonders, leaving you yearning for more after every drop until finally the big one hits and you can't stay still.
