Heart Attack feat. Owl Eyes (Snakehips Remix)
For readers who have followed The Music Ninja over the past few years, there will undoubtedly be a great deal of familiarity to the sounds of UK based production duo, Snakehips. As a bona fide favorite among the staff, we have covered numerous releases by the PBR&B/electronic pair such as “Gone,” “Dímelo,” “Forever,” “On & On,” and “Wanderlust.”
Snakehips latest remix is a unique take on the original of another electronic duo, Flight Facilities. “Heart Attack,” which came out late last year, is an emotional tune that immerses the listener in a feeling of solitude thanks to the lyrical talents of the soulful Owl Eyes.
In their latest remix, Snakehips have done a remarkable job of matching the sentiments of the lyrics (But you’re so far away… Searching for a heart another world away // How far have I got to move… You’re all I need and now if you knew) with the feelings conveyed by the melody. Having kept with the theme of companionship, the remix maintains the subtlety and refine of the original while also creating a markedly familiar synth-based production in line with their previous works.
A reprieve from the constant wave of over-produced future bass, “Heart Attack” is a track music lovers will be playing on repeat for a few days upon first listen. Enjoy streaming the track above and find all of Snakehips’ work over on Soundcloud.
