This is without a doubt my favorite song that I found out about in 2011. It wasn't until close to the end of the year that I began listening to nu disco and fell head over heals. The original has elements dark wave, surf rock and some dnb. But what Andrew Weatherall has done brings it to a completely different level. It's slowed (wonderful good idea), it's a bit minimal, and it shimmers in a way that I cannot describe. The sounds of the instruments are beautifully designed, a gritty guitar sounding synth and perhaps synth sounding guitar, over a sharp beat, remixed with mastery. Just unbelievable.
Anders Trentemøller is a Danish electronic musician from Copenhagen.
This remix can be found on Trentemøller's album Reworked/Remixes, a 2 disc comp. featuring Trentemøller's remixes as well as other artists who have remixed his songs, and reworkings. Just picked it up in Germany not too long ago. Most of my favorites from this compliation are songs I had already known about, but if you are interested in Trentemøller's works of great indie electronica, it is worth checking out. I will surely be posting more songs featured from this album.
Andrew Weatherall is a key figure in UK dance culture and has been since the 80s when ecstasy started taking over the dance floor.
The version uploaded by Trentemøller below is not full, but provides a taste of this fantastic remix.
