Tramaine Hawkins is a gospel singer whose solo career had a lasting effect in the late 80’s with several of her inspirational songs. “The Rock” is from her 1987 project titled “Freedom” – produced by Tramaine. Her previous dance floor track titled “Fall Down” was the start of this power message she delivers. “The Rock” has the same effect yet pulls together more of a groove which give the message an ethereal sound. The song was a great weapon for me during early morning sets or early in the evening when the floor was to come alive.
I have taken the 12” versions of “The Rock” and have given this faith-based number a new ReStructure Mix. The rhythm guitars and the keyboards are laid out more for an opportunity to keep this version moving. A few beats and effects from Kraftwerk are added for a new feel.
