sophie rimheden - in your mind (hundarna från söder remix)

for this one i had heard of sophie rimheden and her music because of showcasing and interview on national radio but "in your mind" wasn't one of the songs. there was a possibility that "lovin'" as amongst the tracks being played as it was around '03-'04 and i thought the music was interesting. it was sort of twisted electroclash with good use of distortion and i liked how she manipulated her own voice. it did remind of peaches, miss kittin and the hacker and chicks on speed, even if it wasn't a lot that i had heard from them at the time.

when i visited her website a while later after that i had seen hundarna från söders remix of "in your mind" and that was also a name that i had heard of in a similar situation. but i can honestly say that i wasn't that fond of their music because it was a little too bleep and bloop for me. for their take on the song it isn't any case of that but deep atmospheric electro. they stripped down the song from all of it's glorious chaos to just the rhythm, the mood and a fragment of her vocal.

after some small feedback and some transients you hear a tr-808 and some lowkey synth trawling along and eventually after the introduction of the sombre lo-fi pad the bassline is brought on. all of the elements have been treated to keep that murmuring or dark vibe so it gives out a nice nightly feel. it's very spacious and atmospheric but still rhytmic enough so it's workable in sets. proper.
