Kaye : Yeh Unnai Thane
Kaye from esteemed alternative electronic label Darker Than Wax has just dropped Indian Italo, a short remix album that takes Indian classics and reimagines them in an Italo Disco context.
A remix of the 1987 Tamil classic of the same name, Yeh Unnai Thane is a joyride from start to finish. Infused with a undeniable groove whilst retaining a theatrical quality, Kaye takes the original Indian song and flips it into an Italo Disco extravaganza. Retaining the spirit and character of the original, elements such as the back-forth riffing segments between the keys and guitars present in the original are tastefully enhanced with soaring classic synths and gnarly synth bass, making for what would definitely be a welcome addition for the dancefloor.
Below is an excerpt from Kaye’s Bandcamp page detailing the release.
“Following up on his first, very well received Bollywood edits in 2019, Darker Than Wax co-founder Kaye is back with an all new arsenal of Indian classics edits, but this time tuned towards a heavier Italo Disco vibe. Arpeggiated bass lines and classic synth sounds all weaved seamlessly with carefully cut up and re-stitched versions of the originals”
