Earlier in the summer I reviewed Last Dance (Wastelands) by Icelandic techno artist, Doddi. I loved the sprawling and atmospheric instrumentation on inspired Dark House track. Guest vocalist Una Stef’s gorgeous soprano matched Doddi’s Depeche Mode style lead vocal perfectly.
Doddi and his collaborators have released a series of remixes of the song. So, I figured I would take another look at the song. Here are three alternate mixes of Last Dance. Click here if you would like to hear the original.
Xander Milne Remix
This beat-heavy extended mix starts off with a Jungle rhythm and minimal melodic instrumentation. The focus is definitely on the groove, and the vocals. The track temporarily breaks down to a vocal-only mix of the verse before it picks up into a more traditional techno beat, which gives Una Stef’s vocals a cool R&B feel.
There is a great synth arpeggio riff at around the four minute mark which I really liked. The beat drops out again for a beautiful vocal break before it kicks back in to the Jungle beat that introduced the song.
TBD Remix
The TBD mix introduces a cool modern house groove to Last Dance. At the outset the song sounds almost recognizable. However, at around one minute into the track we hear Doddi’s distinctive vocal and we know we are in for a creative interpretation of the original.
External samples and a selective use of the original tune’s instrumentation match the infectious beat. Halfway through the mix it breaks down into a trippy bridge which I really liked. The song then builds back into a dance beat. I love the use of Una Stef’s soulful vocal riffs in the last segment.
Abludo Remix
This is definitely the most experimental of the three remixes. The track is driven by a breakbeat rhythm. With creative instrumentation and significant augmentation of the song’s structure, “Last Dance” sounds almost like a completely new song. Additional synth chords and a new bass line changed the melodic structure of the song.
It is a great sound. I like the spots where Doddi’s voice blends with the instrumentation. It gives this machine music and oddly organic, or cyborganic feel. By the end the robots breakout into a cool jam based loosely on the original tune.
