the persuader - centralbron (birdy remix)

this one i heard a while after i heard the original and i don't know what was wrong with me because i know i did not like it at first, then again "centralbron" was not a track i did like from the get-go either. it wasn't a "djurgårdsbron", "gamla stan" or "södermalm" or any other jesper dahlbäck/the persuader tracks that had that sort of sound.

i was quite transfixed with the persuader being dahlbäck's more lush & deeper house sound when i digged deeper and noticed that dahlbäck did more rigid techy ordeals under this name. i did catch on and i certainly did catch on to this remix, i think it had to do with listening to something right and not in the background.

i know i'm planning to write more about svek and i even mentioned in the entry about "my world (night drive mix)" that i am a fan of the label and can go on and on about it but i don't have to really. the tracks speak for themselves and the fact that certain records are still being played out by dj's is proof of that.

this remix came out on the tail end of svek's livelyhood while the original came out in the prime. the original was more or a stripped down robot funk house kind of number, something that can be described as minneapolis meets perlon. this version kept the robot aspects but kicks up the tempo, changes the groove and adds more funk. the endresult is very electro and unbelievably funky.

because birdy is grieder & dahlbäck, i think dahlbäck saw an opportunity to revisit his original and do it in a way that was sounding like the techier side of the sunday brunch records.
