emma nilsdotter - kalles klätterträd (markus enochson dub)

i discovered this one when i was properly introduced to markus enochson's work by being spellbound by his amazing remix of koop's "summer sun". the original song was one of my favourites and when i bought the remix version of "waltz for koop" i was in love. after that i was quite interested in whatever enochson was dabbling in and i found a number of good tracks.

some tracks on svek, some on maw and other us garage-y kind of house and it was quite nice. but i remember finding his remix of swedish jazz/folk singer emma nilsdotter's "från mig till dig" (from me to you). it was on one of dimitri from paris playboy mansion compos and just the fact you have good house music with a swedish vocal intrigued me. i later heard the original version which infact was better than the enochsons remix but and i tried to locate her self titled album.

her album was a good to decent affair, had a number of nice poppy songs and a few cracking tracks. it also had a version of (legendary swedish guitarist) jojje wadenius' classic childrens song "kalles klätterträd". that was the theme song to a swedish cartoon series back in the '70s. way before my time really but when i heard it on youtube i do have some memory of it, but a slight one.

nilsdotter's version takes the tempo down a little bit and does it a bit more singsongy than wadenius version and it's quite nice but i didn't know how a remix of it would sound when i found the cdsingle for track in a bargain bin. what enochson did with the song was to basicly take the guitar riff that carries throughout the song and work that fully in the song and and then use a few vocal bits and the kind of humming that is in the middle eight of the song.



enochson's version is great and a good summertime house track and i particulary enjoy it since the guitar riff he took from the original sort of sounds like blue öyster cult's "don't fear the reaper".
