heard about this one being announced on tumble's twitter and i was interested because i'm a fan of tumble's work in general. i wasn't that into the original but i do enjoy it and has the sharp production values you expect with tumble's tracks.
a little less drums on this than i expected off his tracks but i do also realised it's not that kind of cut. and i can easily go play his other works if i wanted the percussive touch. i really recommend those tracks, from all the s.u.m.o. productions or the solo stuff. anyhow the other remixes didn't catch my fancy to be honest. i think in normal cases i would have highlighted something like combo's remix with it's techy garage flirts but no.
i've gone probably a bit hipster on this one and found niva's remix to be my favourite of the pack. i haven't really understood chillwave yet but all things were aligned perfectly with this track. probably because niva works the vocal in a better way than combo did as i wasn't big on the vocal in the first place.
what i've understood with chillwave is sort of shoegaze meets american r&b ala timbaland & darkchild and it's personified with this. compact but packing drums, a very present bass and heavy use of reverbs & effects to create dreamy sounds. all of this within the concept of a fairly dancable touch but i think of it more as headphone music. well recommended
