UK dance music veteran Shadow Child has remixed Tensnakeโs latest single โSomebody Elseโ, out 12th June. The remix follows the release of the original, due out on Tensnakeโs album LA Harnessing a nostalgic rave vibe, Shadow Childโs remix pairs anthemic sirens and forceful kick drum with Matthewsโ fresh, youthful vocal.
Tensnake said about the original: โSomebody Else” is probably my favourite song on the album. When Boy Matthews and I met in Los Angeles we instantly got along and the songwriting came very naturally together. Iโd say it is also the song which reminds me the most of my time in Los Angeles; this city has such a nostalgic feel and I tried to capture that vibe in this song. There is a fair bit of retro style to the instrumental, but in combination with the modern vocals it sounds very fresh to me.”
Regarding the remix he added, โ“I have been playing Shadow Child’s tracks for years in my own sets and I love the 90s rave / trance approach he took with the remix. I canโt wait to play this out one day!”
Shadow Child added, โGreat to remix Tensnake, and merge his work with the vibe of my Apollo series too!โ
