"the thoughts of this remix are very simple, in the first half the bird is in the cage, in the second half
the bird, or maybe it‘s only the soul, escapes"
// Popnoname
"I wanted to make Only for Tonight sound big and heavy, like a moving train. Keeping the vocals
almost intact to preserve the original feeling of the song"
// DisRelatedKin
"I played with the feeling of frustration in the lyrics and recorded vocals, it is a balance between
sweet emotions and melancholic frustration. I found it especially fun to slice up and make glitch like
melodies of the key fiddle track since it is such a classical Swedish instrument"
// Harald Björk
"The Studio Barnhus remix of Fog Dancer transforms the sweet and eerie pop song into a chaotic
house jam, letting Juno chords and basslines set the pace for the slow, steady groove, sprinkled with
cut up vocals and drums from the original track
// Kornél Kovács
I was really glad and excited about remixing a "non-techno track", and to work with vocal tracks. I
decided to make something dark, really different from the original and to disturb the song structure.
As I really like the original song, it was easy to come up with ideas and I enjoyed working on the
remix
// Clara Moto
"I did the remix quite on impulse. I didn’t use any sequencers for it, just cutting up the guitars in
CoolEdit and layering them before recording the mixdown to tape. I did it in an evening, though I
don’t feel like it was rushed. I’m really happy with it
