Mylo's "Drop the Pressure" hit British shops as a single in October 2004, lifted from Destroy Rock & Roll, the Scottish dance producer's first and, as it turned out, only album. He wrote and produced it himself, and the trick is almost absurdly simple: an instrumental track plus a single vocal line he recorded, pushed through a vocoder module he brought in with Reason 2.5 until his voice comes out robotic, blank-eyed and utterly insistent.
It stalled at 19 on the main UK Singles Chart but went all the way to the top of both the Independent Singles and Dance Singles charts there. In 2005 it got a second life as "Doctor Pressure", a mash-up with "Dr. Beat", Miami Sound Machine's 1984 song.
