my memory might fail me but i bought this single up on it's release and but i don't really remember if i had heard "you & i" prior. it was probably a case of buying because i liked prior single "i want you" that i've mentioned prior and because the names that remixed the song excited me. they are moonbotica, fellow danes bandit and trentemøller and my countryman eric s. now i knew that the latter two names were what i was gearing for as i wasn't that a fan of moonbotica.
with trentemøller i knew of with "le champagne" on naked music and a few other records that was released around this time. i could have easily written about it as it is an amazing remix with all the trimmings and it sort of reminds me another track of his called "the forest". it's very soundscapey and deep with a heavy bass and great use of the strings from the original.
but i'm going to highlight eric s' remix as it's the one that i've played the most over the years and is also my favourite version, with trentemøller's remix as a close second. this version is probably the most straight forward housey of the bunch with it's round rhythmic bassline and sunshine groove driving it. all of the strings and atmosphere and the sombre attitude that the original uses is retranslated into a different mode.
the original is a great track but it's housemusic made for home listening or during the early hours and it has to do with it's groove. even though it actually gears towards the dancefloor in some respect, i don't really see it happening. eric s does a great job at creating that blend between hed kandi and body & soul it shines through with the percussion, the bassline as mentioned prior but also all the warm keys. lovely track.
