It’s not a secret that I’ve been waiting for this release since the announcement of the re-issue way back when. I’ve been a fan of Tiga since the first time I heard is stripped down electro version of “Hot in Herre.” His mix on !K7 played over and over and over on various listening devices throughout the years. In short, I’m a fan of this Montrealer and yet I’ve still never seen him play. Boo.
The remixes for the re-issue of “Sunglasses at Night” are all over the place in terms of stylings. ALTER EGO cuts up a super glitzy bass heavy stomper that barely leaves any of the original melody while KONRAD BLACK keeps things minimal with a dubbed techno version. POPOF gets two takes - the first of which delivers a bleepy thunderous pounding ideal for dark rooms big and small. The second keeps more of Corey Hart’s iconic synth line providing a perfect electro hook with the combination of pogo beats. D.I.M. brews ominous dark moods and pours more electro-flavoured stabs over modulated bass. Oh, the original version Tiga and ZYNTHERIUS (the self-declaired God of Synth) is still deluxe. You can pick them all up at BEATPORT.

Pero después podemos escuchar el genial retorno de, otro británicos, Basement Jaxx que presentaron en recientes dias un EP totalmente fantastico, y de ahí escuchamos la cancion My Turn. Y finaliza esta sesión con el sonido indie disco del canadiense Tiga y Zyntherius reeditando la clásica Sunglasses at Night remezclada por Alter Ego. [...]
