Live Review: Rufus 'Unforgiven' (The Presets Remix)

15 August 2014 | 12:00 am | Lauren Payne

The Presets have remixed Rufus. Nuff said.

By now everyone would have heard about the Atlas Light/Dark Edition being released this year by RUFUS. The album is to feature a series of remixes from some of  our favourite producers and so far we've had TOUCH SENSITIVE, CLASSIXX and HAYDEN JAMES all release some stellar remixes of Atlas' best tracks.

A couple of weeks ago, for those who missed it, the RUFUS/ RUFUS DU SOL boys got together and remixed THE PRESETS latest single 'No Fun'; well now THE PRESETS have decided to return the favour and remix one of RUFUS' singles and let the boys chuck it on their Light/Dark Edition.

The original mix is one of the more sultry tracks on Atlas with vocalist Tyrone Lindqvist bringing his voice down to a deeper tone. 'Unforgiven' has a bit of a womanly touch on it also with lighter vocals dancing with Lindqvist's making things seem all the more, intense.

THE PRESETS have kept the original vocal work and created a very simplistic melody to accompany it. With a heavy beat strutting alongside the vocals at the beginning, the track seems to have a bit more grunt than it's original mix.

Light synths lightly dance above a very elegant piano track that again, makes the track seem all that more regal. This is probably the remix that will make us bow down to THE PRESETS' magnificent reworking skills. A splash of samples burst their way through the track and we have some ghostly vocals floating around our heads before all of a sudden, 'Unforgiven' breaks out into  heavy groove.

RUFUS' Atlas Light/Dark Edition is available to purchase from iTunes exclusively in Australia and New Zealand now.
