Daily Rec: Anoraak remixes College
Song: Teenage Color (Anoraak Remix)
By: College
I recommended this artist to someone a few days ago in a response to my last Tennishero post and thought it was only right I gave him a little more credit. In a similar style to Tennishero this is a refreshingly mellow electro house tune, which tips its cap to that ever popular decade, the 80’s, in a big way!
I downloaded the original College version of this track some time ago (along with the rest of the EP), and I must say I wasn’t very impressed - the songs had a solid foundation but didn’t develop enough for my liking (and the early fade outs were just bloody annoying in my opinion). But this remix completely turns that on its head! It kinda make’s me see the sense in the original song. By creating a fairly simple base, College have opened themselves up to massive remixing opportunities. I guess you could compare this to Daft Punk’s Human After All, which did become a little repetitive - but as soon as remixes started appearing (especially in the form of their own live album Alive 2007) it really made sense.
By adding a little more structure Anoraak has created a masterpiece of chilled electro house. The lead melody has really helped take this track to a new level, as have the various break downs. Retaining the good features of the original, and adding his own style makes this an example of a perfect remix.
