SO DISTANT

why do i feel so out of place...

There are plenty of rad remixes of Lorde songs off her last album Melodrama floating about, but have you heard this recent remix of Green Light by PINES? As much as all the tracks off Melodrama were brilliant, Green Light is without a doubt my favorite. The Australian duo gives the track an atmospheric blustering, coruscant sparkling future bass re-fix that totally bucks the feel of the original. The green glow of this beautifully diaphanous re-imagination, an orchestral lush transformation, reveals a scintillating new side to Green Light. You can listen to PINES on Spotify, here.

We still have to pinch ourselves to make sure we’re not dreaming when it comes to Forever, the Ekali and Medasin collaboration that also features our long time electronica/electropop fave Elohim on dreamy enthralling vocals. Mysterious producer and DJ MAG3 infuses the chiffon glider with electrifying vivacity on a gorgeous remix, rife with stuttering beats, elastic synths, and orchestral flourishes. MAG3′s remix is wistfulness with some oomph, an expertly crafted rendition of a magnificent aria. Download the breathtaking remix, here.

I had to look up what ‘alprazolam’ is after the utter inebriation artsea brought us on his track. It’s obvious its a pharmaceutical, but I learned from my ‘expert’ google skills that it’s a minor tranquilizer. The name seems fitting for this Brisbane producer’s nebulous future beats dazzler… We find ourselves extensively hypnotized, yet alprazolam is in no way soporific. Instead, it takes us into a murky, dusky wonderland with its watery beats and soft whispers. artsea’s opulent future bass examines the culture of addiction. It delves into a surreal conscience that is in fact, all too real. In this daydream, the world around us seems to move in slow motion above us as we view it from under water, through the lens of rippling tides and reflective waves.
