when the news hit that bloghouse-favourites dfa was going to do a remix of justin timberlakes "my love" it sent of a frenzy that unfortunately didn't pay off. the original was such a big hit that everyone thought expected something to fullfill their wishes. to be honest i think everyone set the bar to high and i quite liked dfa's effort but i do agreed that the best part of the remix was the tailend where they focused on the bassline.
i loved that bassline and the solo it was given along that pingpong-delayed synth patch was just magnificent. one of the things people noticed with the remix quite quick was that it didn't reuse any elements from timbalands original production. although that's fairly usual from dfa who to play live instruments but i think most was expecting to hear that synth melody from the original incorporated in one way or another.
instead they took inspiration from another track and i realised that when i heard a mix from swedish dj zyron a while after. he opened with the instrumental of max 404's "spin my world" and right from the top that bassline is there. dfa borrowed the bass and some of the aesthetics from erwin wan moll's track but i think he probably also took inspiration from some 80's track as it has that sleazy dutch italo-vibe.
moll's synth work on it is incredible as he takes the track up and down i love that really resonant & sinister sound that take control of the track. all of these glorious melodics under that lovely bass. i really like this and as usual it's well recommended
i should note the track is available on juno, beatport & whatnot but only the uptempo remixes that was on the record, not the original vocal & instrumental versions. i guess they weren't as interesting to release and that's shame as i don't like them as much. the problem is that the swung notes in the original loose their feeling when they are kicked up from 95bpm to 120bpm.
but by all means buy them here (junodownload)
