Tom: Eric Prydz, remixer extraordinaire; CHVRCHES, badly-capitalised Scottish electronica. I saw the two names on this, and almost immediately thought “well, this is going to be good”.
Tim: Likewise – YES PLEASE.
Tom: And happily, E-Prydz —
Tim: What.
Tom: I don’t know why I called him that. Anyway, he’s posted three minutes of it to SoundCloud as a preview. Advance warning: this is about 2:30 of build and then it gets cut off just after the drop: adjust your expectations accordingly.
Tim: With expectations duly adjusted, that’s a very good 2:30 of build, though I’m not sure it is all build – there’s enough variety in there for it to be a decent track as it is.
Tom: Presumably there’ll be a radio-friendly edit of about three minutes total soon, which I’m Properly Excited for.
Tim: Yes – if this is just the preview elements, I can’t wait to see what the rest of it sounds like – presumably a lot more vocal, for one thing.
Tom: But in summary: that’s two very good acts working together to make something that reflects well on both of them. With Eric Picklez —
Tim: Seriously?
Tom: — at the helm, it was never going to be an astonishingly inventive remix: it was going to be, as I’ve said before, by-the-numbers but with very good numbers. When you’ve got a good formula, sometimes it’s best not to mess with it.
Tim: Tommy Sizzle, you’re not wrong there. Bring on the rest of it.
