after hearing the remix of jessica lauren's "uptown" i did check out some of red snapper's other remixes and some of their works. i knew of their remix of ruby's "paraffin" and the remix of lamb's "softly". the former i don't like at all but the remix of "softly" is nice but it has nothing on the bola remix so it doesn't matter.
i really didn't know much about the original song or richard warren/echoboy's works in general but i know i've seen the name before. this was case of hearing the remix before the original so i didn't know what they used and what they did with this remix. after hearing "turning on" i realised they used the resonant synth sounds from the latter half of the song and removed most of warren's vocals.
what made me like the track is the fact they flipped it to a garage like tune but with sharp spaced out sounds. the drums are smacking and on point but apart from additional percussion grooves it doesn't go anywhere with the programming. then again i believe they put the focus on getting the bass down fat and they pulled that off well. it's a murmuring sound and i feel the frequencies excellently when i bang it out.
red snapper really built the tension with this as the bass progresses and with the background sound growing and as you think it will go nuts they drop them. instead they unleash this buzzing high pitched sinewave that they took from the original and it's transient and really gets to you in a good way. as it becomes sort of a noise it hits a level of annoyance and then it drops. really well also and this is the killer moment, killer track.
