private + lifelike

i still can’t believe private have been kept private from me all this time. the danish trio equals songwriter/singer/producer thomas troelsen, guitarist asger tarpgaard, and vocalist tanja simonsen.

‘my secret lover’ was released back in ’07 off of universal denmark, and without delay climbed to the very peak of the danish charts. this jam may be a bit old, but to me, it’s still rockin’ like the flintstones. thomas subtley samples the stabs of “she can’t love you” by chemise, to produce one of the catchiest sounding hooks i have honestly ever heard. my repeat button was made for this tune!

the previously unreleased lifelike remix seemed to be missing on the internet until i commissioned old man aleks to track it down. next thing i know, i have a full copy of it sitting in my inbox, cleared to share with you alls today. plugging in keyboards one at a time, lifelike flawlessly reshapes the listener-friendly original into a faster-paced dance floor must, in an oh-so dashingly french manner. the beat jogs to a syrupy bassline accompanied by the usual collection of his earmarked analog sounds.
