Warriors Of The Dystotheque give a lesson in how diverse a song can be, with a little help from Adam Leonard (Invaderband), on their new remix package known as ‘Things In The Shadows’. The original starts off as an homage to those 80’s style alt-rock (think 120 Minutes) with a danceable beat and monstrous hook. Yet, on the Opus Klien Remix, the EDM factor kicks in full hijack mode with a sonically transparent dance club floor stomper that literally gives almost no indication of the original’s existence. Finally, with the Tronik Youth Remix, we have a more mellow, yet ethereal dreamlike state represented in a Euro Club setting that gives a smooth beat and captivates the listener like a drug. Three brilliant renditions each on their own footing.

“Futures, pasts, and presents. Dark visions of the unseen and almost seen. Whether you can face it or not, there are always things in the shadows… even yourself.”
