I’m not going to focus particularly on the original artist here (surprise surprise), or talk about Bernie Wayne’s original or the David Lynch cinematic classic, as I think it’s all a bit beside the point. The star of this performance is definitely the Norwegian Lindstrom, who turns in what can only be described as a production master class of a remix.
This remix is very much from the Moroder school of thought: a slow, sensuous vocal over a fast, repetitive bassline. Rushing, filtering pads, subtly gathering percussion and some beautiful ‘gathering storm’ arrangement moments make this a record that a lot of the more interesting dancefloor DJs are going to return to repeatedly in times of panic. As Brian Fantana once said, “60% of the time, it works every time”… This is a weapon.
