I just heard the latest remix by Kris Menace, and was honestly so impressed i decided that i needed to post it immediately along with an attempt at an explanation as to its greatness.
For a long time i have been very much 'eh' when it came to kris menace. he seemed to do it a lot of remixes, and along with lifelike, braxe and falke and the remaining french touch mafia slowly drifted into the maximalist synth led 'blog house' realm. Just type Lifelike in on hype machine and you'll catch my drift.
But a lot of these remixes were tired twists on an obvious formula, endless reminisces of 'Lumberjack' and 'Discopolis' via remixes of wet behind the ears producers so eager for the name recognition that these stalwarts brought with them that they would happily accept something that sounded well below average.
BUT.
I am very pleased to say that Kris Menace, with his latest remix, has perfected his sound, and found the yearning voice that slots together perfectly with his spiralling french touch synths and makes them sound real, rather than tawdry imitations. The song packs an emotional punch, yet remains well produced enough for most dancefloors.
The track in question is the Kris Menace remix of Metronomy's Heartbreaker, and it is fucking amazing. I kind of needed to swear to balance out all the verbosity.
Enjoy
