i discovered this track when josefin johansson (aka josefinito) and kristofer jonzon took part of "musikhjälpen" (swedish version of dutch format "serious request") 2011 and they performed this track that was very much a pastische of an 80's/90's house track. it was seriously catchy and i liked it instantly and it was weird to know that josefinito could sing as she's more known as a comedian.
it was likewise with jonzon, but i did know that he was actually a great singer and musician as he performed on the show the year prior. he did some lovely renditions of berlin's "take my breath away", chris isaak's "wicked game", the rolling stones' "wild horses" and a few others. he had released an album prior to that also and i was transfixed to the idea to him as a balladeer & pop singer so it was weird him do something like this.
as mentioned this track is sort of throwback and it's showing in the style where the vocal edits are done with triggered samples as it was sampled. but it isn't the vocal that is carrying the track even though josefinito really belts it out in a nice way.
it's that driving bassline which has a near acid like quality and really want someone like kings of the universe to do a remix to take this song to the next level with a proper acidline in the mix. the way it breaks down near the end to the bass and it always evokes a resonant wiggle that i want to come in and explode. especially since the the bottom end goes into a lovely sharper buzz at the break
jonzon who i'm guessing produced the track did a fine job with working tr-909 samples for the rhythmical stomp and the overall synthesizer work. his own vocal presence on the track is almost frank farian-esque but better. both two did a bangup job with this track and i think the other tracks on their ep is quite nice as well as their kitschy electronic pop music really resonates with me well.
