It’s not very often that the original producer of a track will come out and say that a specific remix “was the way the song should have sounded”, but believe it or not, this is precisely how Boy 8-Bit acknowledged the retooling of his work, Wolfen, which was done by the acclaimed Ottawa-based duo, Jokers of the Scene. There is certainly no higher praise than this, and it’s a good indication of how well-done this remix is by our friends Chris and Linus.
You may remember Wolfen from Boy 8-Bit’s epic EP entitled Baltic Pine, which dropped last year (what seems like ages ago). The EP sorta floats along, telling a mythical tale throughout it’s four track plot. The most frightening scene involved the track above, which showcased a haunted ‘buzzing’ synth throughout the piece. JOTS go ahead and extract this eerie sound, inserting it between a well thought-out tech-house build, and an ingenious progressive-inspired interlude. This track is on the better side of brilliant, and automatically goes down as one of 2010′s best remixes.
