Yahtzel – Someone Else ft. Savoi (StéLouse Remix)

StéLouse is a name that I’ve had my eye on for quite some time in the electronic scene. He’s a super versatile producer that always releases material that hits me on a level beyond surface level enjoyment. His new remix of Yahtzel’s “Someone Else” is no different. Savoi’s gorgeous vocals still remain but he accelerates the track into exciting new territory that’s a visceral thrill. The build-up is intense and ends with an amazing pay-off as waves of synths wash over the production, not to mention a phenomenal second drop that dives into gloriously glitchy chiptune territory.

I’d absolutely love to hear this remix bumping through a serious speaker system. It’d be one of those larger-than-life moments that makes you reflect on your life and all the positive trappings that come with it. That makes me think back to a moment in Times Square – it was the dead of night in the middle of a blizzard and I stared up into the entrancing electronic billboards and my perspective on life changed. I never had felt as part of something so immense up until then and I’ll never forget that feeling – it’s a sensation I’ve chased since then. I’d love to visit New York again and revisit that experience soon.

WRLD x Savoi – Hideaway

Whether it’s a physical space or a state of mind, we all have our hideaways. Some are healthy, some are self-destructive, but WRLD and Savoi’s “Hideaway” reminds me of those that inspire utter bliss. Personally, my hideaway has become driving down Sunset Boulevard until I hit the coast then driving north; as the fresh ocean breeze flows through the windows, the sight of waves crashing downward and valleys spiraling upward flank each side of the highway. Even while surrounded by the occasional car, it brings me to a sense of inner peace that’s difficult to achieve within the confines of a space lacking such expansive nature. As of right now, I can’t imagine another space that brings me such inner peace.

With that being said, “Hideaway” emanates an organic sense of joy akin to how I feel surrounded by those aforementioned sights. As the synths twinkle in the verse and warp into joyous masses in the chorus, Savoi delivers an utterly beautiful vocal performance that compliments that airy, earnest production of WRLD. To be frank, the track is an instant favorite that sets up a mightily promising 2017 for WRLD and Savoi alike.
