Speaking of Stoney Roads, here’s a recent premier that we’ve been playing a lot lately, for several reasons. Andreas Moe is a young singer/songwriter from Stockholm, LCAW a 19 year old producer from Munich. I’ve got mixed feelings about this one — LCAW abandons the folksy backbeat of the original for a four-on-the-floor house pattern. That’s not a bad thing at all, except for the tempo being pushed so far from its normal pace to nearly render Moe’s soft and delicate vocals anxious and stumbling at times. There are places where it works absolutely perfectly (“lay your love on mine”), but the chorus feels rushed, which I would guess is the polar opposite of the vibe LCAW was going for. That aside, there’s something to be said about how original and catchy this remix is — that airy lead sample is what got us hooked in the first place — and if anything this is great progress from a rising young producer.
