Rollo & Sister Bliss return to heyday form.
Back when I was a teenager, Rollo & Sister Bliss were THE go to for amazing remixes. Time and time again they created legendary dance music history with their building, euphoric takes on some of the biggest songs released. Everything from Donna Summer to even their own brand of music as apart of Faithless, generally speaking, Rollo & Sister Bliss were – and are – two of the greatest DJs in the dance community.
Over the last couple of years, Rollo & Bliss’ output as a remixing duo hasn’t been hitting the usual track-records or meeting the standards many of their previous re-swizzles have. There was a distinct sound to the way Rollo & Bliss remixed, but as house music turned into something completely different all together as the late 90’s drew to a close, so did that euphoric, trancey house bassline we’d all come to know and love from R & Bliss. But now, with the 90’s revival well and truly here, it seems fitting that a remix that harks back to that particular time be exactly the kind of sound Rollo & Sister Bliss recreate with this, their finest and most spectacular remix in about five years.
What’s probably even more exciting is that it still sounds like a remix that’s been done in 2010. It’s still fresh sounding but somehow manages to push a number of nostalgic buttons for me along the way. Hell, maybe even you.
The Temper Trap (from Melbourne) released this, their “Love Lost” single last month, with this remix tacked on as a b-side. The original version is fine, but there’s something really magical about that breakdown and beat-drop toward the end of the remix that really takes the song to a much further emotional level. That euphoric sense of beauty, tragedy and brilliance, all rolled into the one truly monstrous and epic seven minute club thumper.
Welcome back Rollo and Sister Bliss. Don’t Leave…
