chloé - take care (abe duque remix)

this was something that i used to play in plenty of my sets and came to mind a short while back when i saw the name chloé on a compilation that i own. i'm trying to remember how i heard this first but best believe that it ws through one of the big jocks at time, maybe digweed or howells? this was when i was growing sick of epic trance or trance in any shape or form and was starting to look elsewhere for material.

originally by french producer & dj chloé thevenin, most remember this song by the small vocal bits saying "ooh" "agh" and "i don't care" in a hazy but heavy accent. also it has a sort of new wave synth melodic aspect but that didn't come through in carlos ducue alcivar aka abe duque's remix. he used chloé's sounds and effects but mended them into his own distinctive late 80's/early 90's throwback acid house sound.

abe duque also expanded on the acidlike bassline that thevenin worked into her original and made it squeel with glee. this is the aspect of abe duque's remix that made more interested as i'm always up for more acid lines in techno or house music. be it that they are waggly or wobbly or squelchy or even subtle, just as they are present and worked well into the groove.

bumping acid house from the duque and it' well recommended.

note: this is technically available for purchase digitally (for example here) but it's not the whole track and it's from a mix-cd. which makes it pointless to purchase, especially if one wants to play it in their own sets.
