Bodai - Brave (pumbum Remix)

Bodai's 'Brave' gets the remix treatment and the new EP is out now on Where The Shadow Ends. I'm picking out pumbum's version, because that's the one where the drop actually goes somewhere different than where it started, with a whole breakdown in the back third that flips the track inside out and lands it in a more spacious, almost fractured place. That's the real piece.

The other three on the EP? The Intro Mix is fine, the JFR Remix is the flat one, it's the weakest on the record, track two strikes again. Edu Schwartz's version is okay but doesn't leave much of an impression. So the pumbum remix is the one.

Now, about the label name: Where The Shadow Ends. Is that a real bit or is it just a name? I keep going back and forth. It sounds like it could be a movie title or a line from a poem that never got finished, but the music they put out actually lives up to the name, it's stuff that sits right on that edge between light and dark, where the kick doesn't let you forget the floor but the melody lets you drift off somewhere else. This remix sits exactly there. That's why it works.
