Electronic Pop | House
Sofi Tukker (American duo Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern) have just released their latest remix. They took the original disco-esque / modern pop tune and added a bit of dance grit to it. Think LCD Soundsytem treatment in terms of style. The lead plucky sound is catchy. Overall, I prefer this version to the original – always a hallmark of a great remix.
Dubstep vibe but more on the Trip Hop side of the fence. The chorus is more straight up Trip Hop with the drums and guitar work. What sets it apart though is the vocals. Warm and subtle and never overbearing. The vocals are relaxed but fit the vibe and mood of the track. As his bio states: “Musicmaker from Birmingham/Berlin depending on the weather.”
Track really kicks off at the one minute mark so be sure to hold on till there. When it does kick off you land in a heavy synth bassline with subtle vocals before landing in the first verse around the 1:36 mark. The synth bass really holds it all together with its groove. The atmosphere is club-esque with the tribal drums and funky bass.
