This flip by Bristol-based duo Icarus of Milky Chance's "Colorado" blew me away.
I loved the massive character of the track - the lively percussion, combined with chopped synths and soul-stirring chords. The 'handpicked' vocals from the original were perfectly blending with the melodicism of the instrumental, unfolding in a totally different light.
This remix is part of the German duo's surprise mixtape, Trip Tape, via their own independent record label, Muggelig Records. The mixtape sees Milky Chance perform hit tracks from the likes of the Weeknd, Dua Lipa and Soft Cell as well as a stunning guest remix from Bristol-based producers Icarus. After the global success of “Colorado”, Trip Tape allows Milky Chance to freely explore how their signature style sounds over an eclectic song choice.
