It’s been less than 24 hours since marriage equality passed the New York senate, and what better way to celebrate than with a gay icon (Adele ) singing a song of heartbreak that’s been remixed into (you guessed it) a dance beat. The synergy is so fabulous I almost wish they could’ve spun this at Stonewall last night.
Kwestro is a hip-hop producer out of Austin who’s been dabbling in electronic and ambient music in recent years, and is currently at work on his debut album. He says this remix was almost abandoned, unfinished, but he decided instead of producing a beat around the entire song to focus in on one killer lyrical moment: “The scars of your love, remind me of us. They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.”
Like any good remix, this is an entirely new sonic experience. Kwestro’s managed to get a hook stuck in my head that I simultaneously already knew by heart and yet had never heard before. Listen for the way he chops up the vocal toward the end, using the blips to create a secondary beat structure. It’s a little trance, it’s a whole lot of dance. So take a…chance?
Rhymes. Sue me.
