After the astronomical success of ‘After Midnight’, French duo KLYMVX return with the stunning ‘After Midnight’ Remixes EP.
With five totally new re-imagining’s of the beautiful original and an instrumental version to-boot, the ‘After Midnight’ remix EP is out now on Ultra and Sony, and is available to purchase via all digital service providers.
Starting out with a delicate piano melody and soft vocal detailing, the original ‘After Midnight’ sets out to immediately capture the listeners’ attention. Synth stabs ramp up the energy as Emily Zeck’s country-esque top line builds up until a huge, orchestral horn section enters the soundscape. With a steady tropical house beat and a poppy vocal hook, ‘After Midnight’ has already captured the hearts and minds of the public.
Accompanying the original and an instrumental version of the track are 5 unique remixes, each appropriately assigned to an hour of the day. The ‘9am’ remix indicates a more melodic and downbeat cut, with epic strings to supercharge any morning wake-up routine. As the midday sun of ’12pm’ comes around, snare rolls and surging, distorted, broken vocals couple with huge chord stabs that bring a revitalised energy. By the time we reach ‘8pm’ the track is significantly faster and armed with a brand new melody, designed for festival and club sets. The ’10pm’ rework surges with a broken energy and classic machine driven percussion, rolling into the evening hours with a 4/4, club-ready beat. Closing off the package is the ‘2am’ mix, a peak-time floor filler, with a subtle piano-led breakdown and detuned vocals exploding into a wall of sound.
