Live Review: Blonde 'Higher Ground' ft. Charli Taft (Kant Remix)

16 July 2014 | 10:43 pm | Alean Penaflor

Danish producer Kant ups the house with his remix of Blonde's, 'Higher Ground' featuring Charli Taft.

Last month Bristol-based duo BLONDE premiered their suitably-titled 'Higher Ground', featuring the soft-as-a-caress vocals of Charli Taft. Though far from stale and never to be deemed too-old for the ears, 'Higher Ground' gets a new sound with the help of Danish producer, KANT.

Whilst the original surrounds the light and emotive nature of Taft's vocal prowess - piano progressions and airy effects for emphasis - KANT takes this opportunity to display a contrast of textures, immediately kicking things of with a bubbling melody, sharp zaps of synths and percussion loops in his remix.

Though the original sat back on its groove, this remix plays off the notion of constantly teetering on the edge, giving the track a constant forward momentum and sense of suspense.

Working hand in hand with BLONDE's house-pop style, KANT swerves 'Higher Ground' a touch out of its dulcet-eletro realm and into a late-night ready mix.
