Nothing crazy about it. Anyone who grew listening to this music knows it too. The modern scene has a lot to like, but it’s always a form of settling taking place deep down.
That’s aside, Alvars interpretation is still good. He’s on form right now.
Thanks for the nice words!! <3
First off i totally agree when it comes to the musicality/creative aspect, but when it comes to the mixing/mastering my intention is never to replicate the 90s sound, and i would not want that either. On a headset or for home listening those records sounds incredible, but in the club they turn in to a wall of mud and will often kill the energy unless you strictly play 90s records. I still play a lot of 90s music, but when i do its with the intention of lowering the energy in the room a bit. But all the clashing frequenices in the old records create new interesting and rich harmonies, but also they translate quite bad on big soundsystems.
So my interest lies within that space of sexy dynamic 90s mixes and overcompressed modern dance music. With this remix in particular my goal was simply to make something super DJ friendly, as the originals are very much not. And no point in trying to one up the musicality of the original track, as its as good as it will get already. If you compare this to my other tracks its quite a lot louder and more compressed.
Its something i think a lot about! And you guys are for sure not crazy, there is no need for loud compressed music at home.
