BellaBoo’s remix of “SATURDAZE” by def.sound inverts the emphasized sonics in a way by bringing the Clear Mortifee’s and def.sounds’ vocals to the forefront while emphasizing the beat over the sharply focused synth melody of the original. The cymbals and bass are given a dub treatment to echo with an ever so slightly phased effect to expand the hypnotic and otherworldly feel. The subdued tones are brought up to lend the remix a downtempo quality even as the vocals take on the properties of a sample used as part of the dub as well. It displays the producer’s talents for creative re-imagining in his own style as his original songs favor organic percussion sampled and spliced in with electronic beats and dreamy, cool color atmospherics with a gently playful sensibility like he lets daydreams take bits of sound, rhythm and melody and run with them until they make a kind of subconscious sense that translates into an aesthetic that seems pleasantly familiar but mysterious all at once. It’s a way of approaching making music that remixer and songwriting seem to share thus a fine match. Listen below and follow def.sound at the links provided.
