| The gated chords in the intro pay homage to the trance synths of the original as a snappy house beat builds up. The monotone chord stabs are unleashed in the first breakdown, soaring ever upward before we drop into thick slabs of bass, pounding kicks and the full, ravey stab riff. Old skool snare hits punctuate the sections, with techno snare rolls providing more energy. The retro feel contrasts against Madison Beer’s sweet vocal in the breakdown, sparingly used for maximum effect. A brooding lead and snare build with vocal FX loops hammers the track into overdrive, the snarling, rasping synth unfurling in full on the drop. It’s a superlative remix for those who want it a bit moodier. Europa are set to work with more up-and-coming vocalists and are developing a live show that is certain to rock dancefloors across the world.
