who da funk - sting me red (atfc's vocal on the rocks)

when the original came out it was a favourite track but then again i found most things with terra deva blessing her vocal presence very likable. i played that original in sets and in headphones quite a bit and didn't care about any other remixes.

i think i found the cdsingle for sting me red in a shop and bought it for curiositys sake. it included mixes by freaks and atfc and while the freaks remix was fairly nice the atfc rerub just hit home with me. it had a really good bounce to it and it's something that can really work with some uk funky or really swinging percussive house.

i'm torn to atfc as a producer as he sometimes goes on the lazy side with productions or takes the safer big room route but he really knocked it out with this one. the drums & bass are on point and terra's whispered vocal fits to the track to t and he employs her initiall whispers really well in the buildup. the second half he busts out an electric piano that plays parts of terra's vocal melody and it.

i love this remix and i'm going to keep supporting this till day dot.
