EHCO: When We Were Kids - Remix
Irish multi-instrumental act EHCO has released a remix version of Melbourne-based artist Liza Flume’s track, When We Were Kids.
EHCO adds a dash of its signature electronica sound to the remix - turning an established track into a mesmerizing masterpiece with a fresh perspective provided by the five-piece act.
Eoin Whitfield, the mastermind behind the single, puts together a downtempo track with layers of synthetic brilliance and creativity, giving Flume’s work a polished and hypnotic makeover that we didn’t know it needed.
When We Were Kids is layered with pulsating beats and a colourful entourage of synth keys topped off with a bed of entrancing and ethereal vocals. With a mix of live instruments infused with electronic elements, the track evokes a unique charm and energy that has become characteristic of EHCO’s sound.
EHCO has accomplished what many struggle to do in the electronic scene, which is to remix a song by adding another level of nuanced aesthetic and sonic input while simultaneously remaining grounded in its original roots.
With years of international experience under its belt, EHCO has mastered the art of bountiful remixes, especially when it comes to a melodic house track.
The Irish act first started out as a joint project between renowned producer Eoin Whitfield and vocalist Jessy Lord.
Together they released EHCO’s first EP, OPIA, to critical acclaim. The two then decided to expand their repertoire of skills by introducing more members to the lineup to create the five-piece powerhouse before us today.
By incorporating elements of live instruments to its electronic mix, EHCO has developed an explosive mix of punchy percussion and euphoric electronic-synth, with the added luxury of a dreamy vocal soundscape courtesy of Lord and her ethereal voice.
The band has since spent time collaborating with local and international artists including Daithi, Liza Flume, Bonniesongs, Arachidonic and Benny Smiles.
When they’re not busy putting together hypnotic masterpieces in the studio, EHCO can be found performing at sold out headline shows or music festivals, including Electric Picnic, Castlepalooza and the Other Voices Music Trail.
The only thing more impressive than their catalogue of music is the effort that goes into the live shows. With all five members present, EHCO builds momentum throughout its set, layering piece by piece, until the audience is met with a sonic assault of electronic excellence.
