Osunlade - Envision (Ame Remix)
[audio:http://c231083.r83.cf1.rackcdn.com/EnvisionAme.mp3]
There is a new Dixon remix in town, but you probably already know about that. I listened to a preview of his reworked version of Osunlade’s Envision a while back and loved what I heard. Then, I picked up the remix package yesterday. And while I still thoroughly enjoy Dixon’s remix, the Âme remix takes the cake for me.
Yes, the Dixon remix has its strengths, there probably exists one if not more perfect moments for that track, and it is, in the simplest possible way, a great piece of dark, electronic boogie. It just errs slightly on the sterile side, somewhat missing the opportunity to work with the twist of longing that lies in the vocals. This is where the Âme remix shines.
Building a simple, percussion driven groove up around those same vocals, Âme makes the track work with minimal perceived effort. Oh that slightly ravey lead synth that leads, not to the drop it begs for, but to a smooth transition back to that tingling groove. Again, it may not contain the same potential as dancefloor fuel that Dixon’s remix has. On its own, however, Âme’s version works wonders.
Graphic high five via this ffffound handle.
