i bought this single for "leaving my troubles behind" a few years ago, right after i discovered the single for "dead end street" which i didn't know of but had a trentemøller remix which got me interested. while that was truly a downtempo single with downtempo remixes this had some uptempo versions and featured swedish rapper chords whom i'm a fan of.
the remixes was done by danish act money your love, british house and broken beat producer raw deal and swedish house producer håkan lidbo. i knew of the latter two but i quite like all of the versions on the single but this one has gotten the most play over the years.
it also, unlike raw deal, keeps chords' verses and i like the topic at hand and how he incorporated the same intro, both vocal & musical but then kicks right along. lidbo keeps much of the strings and horns from the original and puts them to good use. the track itself is a textbook cracking house number with some fierce bass and while it's labeled "hiphouse" as it's technically is, it doesn't sound like the late 80's/early 90's kind.
overall it's a great remix of a great track. well recommended.
buy here (itunes)
