The release of XXYYXX's "About U" felt like such a moment across the internet back in 2012. And now twelve years later, U.S.-based producer To the Tide presents a lush and colorful remix of the underground classic.
To the Tide is an electronic producer who is known for diving into different realms and incorporating organic textures throughout his work. Even though his latest official release "Pacific" veers towards UKG and downtempo, this remix takes us through his distinct version of future beats as he reimagines "About U" in such an elegant manner. What certainly stands out are the beefy drums, burly bass line, and the thick pads that create a gorgeous atmosphere. The lead melody is simple enough to stick around in your head for hours on end, and this also complements the gripping vocals from the original.
