Following up successful remixes for everyone from The XX to Joakim; John Talabot has teamed up with Pional for a crack at Chairlift's I Belong In Your Arms
Over the past two years or so, Spanish DJ and producer JOHN TALABOT has delivered some outstanding remixes for artists such as THE XX, TEENGIRL FANTASY & JOAKIM. On this occasion, he has decided to collaborate with PIONAL on a remix of CHAIRLIFT’S ‘I Belong In Your Arms’.
After the first listen, I immediately thought of this song as a cover rather than a remix, which is always quite special. By adding a chilled piano line and stripping back the pop vocals, JOHN TALABOT & PIONAL have managed to create a track that sounds completely unique, while keeping important traces of the original.
