Local Hero: How To Dress Well – Cold Nites (Koreless Remix)

Haunting, beautiful, ethereal - three words that perfectly describe Koreless’ new mix on Chicago-based artist, How To Dress Well. With a melody which instantly sparks off childhood nostalgia and a falsetto which reaches deep into the soul, ‘Cold Nites’ strikes a captivating balance between endearing hope and painful heartbreak. Antony and the Johnsons ain’t got nothing on this…

And continuing with the tearjerkers, emotionally-charged House producer Barrientos left his mark on Bon Iver’s scintillating ‘Perth’ this week. Entered as part of a remix competition, you’ll find the addition of a steady kick drum non-too intrusive as the crescendo swells to a moving climax. As always with a Barrientos remix, this has been executed with complete understanding and compassion for the original.

Things are coming along rather nicely for Glasgow-based producer Illyus. Following on from his achingly-slick debut on Deep Dash, he returns this week with another late night monster called ‘Saiph’. Centred around a simple groove which rolls through seven minutes of hypnotic seduction, you can expect this to tip your floor into a state of blissful psychosis by the time it finishes.

Finally, here is something fresh from the mysterious Koba who we’ve been tracking over the last few months. Creating an overwhelming sense of creeping doubt with his music, you’ll find latest addition ‘Setting Sun’ to be both brooding and reluctant as an underlying beauty attempts to escape the disconcerting tension. Are we looking too much into it? Probably.
