The aptly-named Discotron is a combines 70’s-inspired disco licks with chunky breaks, slammin bass, and sleazy acid lines – just as you’d expect from the West Records superstar, Steelzawheelz. This party tune has been road tested all over the world, and never fails to get the girls on the floor!
The Drumattic Twins have taken the track in a slightly different direction for a heavy, driving, peak time joint that will have fists pumping from the first bassline drop. Their remix has already been licensed to Bass Kleph’s new InTheMix CD, and we’re sure there are plenty more to follow! Needless to say, this is a rockin package.

Magazine & website reviews
URB Magazine (DJ B-Side) Sixth release already for Canada's Money Shot imprint. On this one West Records' Steelzawheelz drops a dancefloor bomb in 'Discotron' that's laced with funky guitar licks, chunky beats and a fat bass line. If the original isn't enough for you check out the Drumattic Twins remix on the flip that's equally dope in its own right.
Resident Advisor (Karl Palma) West records head honchos, Steelzawheelz deliver their debut release on Angus Robinson's Moneyshot imprint following up their remix of Moneyshot 002 - Myagi's "Make It Loud". On the remix tip, the Drumattic Twins provide their shady rhythms to the tune and inject some fatness into it.
Discotron starts off with a deep, percussive breakbeat which leads into a long progressive intro which slowly adds elements of funky bass and disco guitar licks. Quite similar to the sounds of Fingerlickin in their early days, yet on a somewhat subdued tip. Steelzawheelz drop an awesome old school vocal sample - definitely one for the trainspotters out there and towards the end they incorporate a subtle yet effective acid loop. Definitely a tune for the roller rink discos.
The Drumattic Twins remix spices up the flavour and goes down a heavier b-boy rocking tip, dropping the vocal sample during the intro accompanied by a fat drum break and electro hook. After a quick drum fill, the tune settles into a trademark Drumattic style break loaded with electric cowbells and an 80's electro influenced synth hook. Those who are familiar with the Drumattics' tune "Bring It On Down" done with Aquasky recently, can feel the similarities between the tune. There's certainly a side for different dancefloors in this release and this is definitely one Moneyshot tune not to be missed.
