La Boum Fatale & Me Succeeds
Earlier this year crafted Hamburg-based synthpop two-piece ME SUCCEEDS released their latest album Into Randomness which was and still is pretty good. However, in the course of the daily race we forgot to mention that specifically. We’d like to correct this now by heavily recommending you to stream it over at Spotify as the band by Mona Steinwidder and Lorin Strohm deserves a bit more attention anyway. Fans of delicate electronica might remember the gentle voice of Mona from CHRISTIAN LÖFFLER‘s really great new album Mare.
On top of it NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION is debuting a fancy remix of album tune Motherfather today, produced by Antonio de Spirt aka LA BOUM FATALE. It gives the tune with the surprising rap skills of Mona a certain futuristic trip hop feeling, as if MODERAT collaborated with MASSIVE ATTACK. And as a special extra service, Antonio de Spirit shares the single worksteps of his creation right here with you.
I listened to ‘Into Randomness’ and immediately fell for Motherfather. Later Lorin called and asked whether I’d like to remix something. Well, Motherfather was the obvious choice and I was soooo down for it. So, I made a few first sketches
1st idea
Nah, nope. Not awesome enough.
2nd idea
Still not satisfied. It’s wack.
3rd idea
Yeah, nice. This shall work. Always enjoyed this one but always failed. Then Lorin calls: ‘Dude, when are you ready?’ Fuckfuckfuck. Okay, let’s delete everyhing useless, play around with the rest. I added a bit atmosphere and a quite simple beat. Oops, suddenly it’s ‘Teardrop’ by MASSIVE ATTACK. Well, who cares? I really liked the final version, sent it over to Lorin and here you go.
This new version of Motherfather will be featured on a special remix version of the latest ME SUCCEEDS album which arrives digitally on December 23 via Ki Records, furthermore featuring reworks by IRON CURTIS, HEIMER, PHILLIP ROTH and a few more. It’s never to late to fall into randomness, right? Enjoy the tune right here.
