Live Review: LISTEN: Disclosure 'Help Me Lose My Mind' (SOHN Remix)

There's a new leader in the 'remixes of DISCLOSURE' game, and it's Austrian producer - SOHN. Taking on the UK duo's collaboration with hype group London Grammar, he's gone far beyond the call of duty on this one.

The original is one of the highlight tracks from Disclosure's debut LP, Settle, as it is another varied soundscape - and SOHN has tapped into this on the remix. The rework keeps the song’s moody atmospherics intact, and taps directly into the downtempo aspects of the vocals of London Grammar's Hannah Reid. By doing this, SOHN has to make a trade-off though, in this case it's Disclosure’s signature bouncy and bass heavy synths. In return he throws in some very subtle percussive elements and warm and brooding synths.

So basically, SOHN's taken away the uber dancey elements of the original and transformed the track into something a bit closer to London Grammar’s signature melancholic and emotive electronica. Luckily though, he keeps in a couple of upbeat elements to give it a kick towards the end, and ultimately create the ultimate chilled out and blissful Disclosure track we've ever heard. A+

SOHN's remix of 'Help Me Lose My Mind' is a part of Settle - The Remixes, which is due out this week via PMR.
