The visuals of this YouTube upload feel as though we're looking at microscopic matter having a cheeky dance. Makes sense revealing the unknown as Jamie Jones' remix bears a mysteriously seductive vibe; a term that I bet Romy never expected to be associated with when singing for the original version of 'Sunset'. This is due to the marriage between her vocals and the consistent beats that evolves from the bassline, synths and electronic drumpad.
These beats flock in at separate intervals, yet really accommodate to the track's flow due to how perfectly they work together. This unison of beats and vocals are what make the song stick, yet the entire remix is enhanced due to the different synth patterns that drop in and out of the seven minute track.
Get it while it's hawwwt.
