Shenoda 'Burn' (Juxta Position remix) (AUS Music)

Shenoda’s rather jovial original gets a creepy rework courtesy of Juxta Position. He strips away the chirpy atmosphere, replacing it with a lurid vibe. The low-end stomps along with a dull thud, the kick pounding away mercilessly as a bunch of vocals and pads remain locked away in the background, filtered out but still present enough to lighten the mood slightly. After the breakdown, the original’s riff is slowly unleashed, brightening the final half of the track.
