LISTEN: X Club Remixes Dro Carey

the X Club take on Dro Carey knows no boundaries…

If there were an 11th gear available, Brisbane producers found it during the pandemic. (We fact-checked, ten gears are an actual thing). The music flowing down south recently has been bloody impressive. The latest tune you-just-have-to-hear is a remix by electro/rave/techno duo X Club. Your parents might describe X Club's music as 'rowdy' or raucous'; we say it's hella fun. They just might be Australia's answer to Modeselektor, but that might just be hyperbole. Anyway, their take on Dro Carey's latest single is the best fucking remix in the world. (👀)

Dro Carey's recent album, Nothing is a Solo Project, released on Soothsayer, is a treasure trove of singles, a delightful ride through many moods. And as we discovered earlier this year, Carey's listening habits are as diverse as the album. One of the LP’s standout tracks is 'Boundary', an understated and reflective number featuring the moody vocals of Zellow. X Club heard it and went 'It needs more Spinal Tap' so they turned it up to 11. In their creative hands, 'Boundary' is transformed into a main room banger that doesn't care about your parent's delicate sensibilities. It still packs the emotion from the original, but with added warehouse techno and strobes dripping in ecstasy sweat. Nice.
