pinku vääty - all that she wants

i mentioned in the post about quant that jonatan bäckelie (ernesto) was one of the artists highlighted in showcasing of young swedish electronic musicians out of gothenburg. ernesto was at that time sort of the de facto vocalist for most of the works coming out the scene but he made his own tracks as well and was good at it. his voice had that blue eyed soul sensibility and he had that style as the moniker "ernesto" but he when goes more quirky he takes a couple of other monikers like "tan tan", "jong tan" but mostly "pinku vääty".

i didn't know pinku vääty was his moniker in the beginning ('01-'03) as there wasn't any clear indication on the intarwebs but it later was in bold as well. and this moniker was one that i didn't have much idea about but i saw on juno that he started to put out tracks on that alias instead of usual ernesto stuff. but what really gave me a heads up was hearing it on national radio.

i was flicking through channels and then something weird came on, a funky yet wonky cover of ace of base's smash hit "all that she wants". it's quite random and but i think works on many levels even though the bits that were recycled from the original was the bassline, the kind of one drop reggae piano stab and the hook. but it's totally revamped in a new way. i kind of still like ace of base's original but when paul just belts out the hook in his way it makes me forget it even more.
