Boeoes Kaelstigen feat. Vanbot “Our Story (Gabriel Gassi Remix)” (exclusive)

18 Nov 2014 — Henning Lahmann

Before you go ahead and take a listen, allow me to express a few thoughts on this track. One. Up until the remix we ran the other day, we had never heard of a Stockholm-based producer who's into Italo Disco and goes by the name of Gabriel Gassi. And in a way, we're not quite sure what to think about fake Italian names just to get your point across – which is, as mentioned, that you are really into Italo Disco. Because I mean, we get that; just listen. But hey!, no big deal. We like this guy. This is fun. Fun is good. Right? Two. I didn't know that remix packages are still a thing. Remixes, sure. But one song as a single accompanied by a bunch of reworks? That's almost like in the good old days, when we still had CDs. Remember CDs? Yeah, me neither. There was this time in the 90s when we seriously spent something like the equivalent of five Euros (that was before the Euro, duh) for a "maxi single", a mundane silver disc containing one song that we were really obsessed with plus a three or four "b-sides" or more or less crappy remixes by more or less well-known producers. Strange times, the 90s. But apparently these times aren't over yet up in Sweden, as Boeoes Kaelstigen's "Our Story" is already the second remix package to be released in quick succession. But (twist!): As this is Sweden, and not the 90s, the material here is not crappy at all but really rather interesting. Especially this Gabriel Gassi one, but we've said that already. Three. I still have no clue how to pronounce – or spell – Boeoes Kaelstigen. It's confusing.

The Our Story remix package is out tomorrow, November 19, via Adrian Recordings. There will be an album next spring. And more remixes, probably.
