Nathan Fake - Outhouse is a brilliant piece of progressive house. True, it may have been released in 2003 and hence, it's a little late for me to be writing about it now, but it is such a good piece of dark, atmospheric, melodic music that I felt I couldn't not write about the effect it had on me when I heard it on Armin van Buuren - Big Room Trance.

It starts out with a droning bassline with the leading melody slowly fading in. Then a higher pitched bass kicks in (sounding a little like what Maniam would play on his tabla) before diving into a breakdown which then segues into another section where the beats have become more compact. Right after this, the tune becomes more upbeat and atmospheric, even emotional. The second breakdown then returns the tune to a state of calm.

Outhouse is Nathan Fake's debut release on Border Community.
