[MP3] Shine 2009 reMixed by CFCF

With a sweet 90s Indie Dance vibe, here comes the CFCF reMix of Shine 2009’s Eurozone. The Montreal-based producer channels his inner Madchester and makes us want to don baggy jeans and floppy hair. Which we aren’t actually going to do by the way, for numerous reasons.

You can’t help but want to nod along to the shuffling Indie Dance beat, it’s pure mid-90s vibes around here. The chugging synths, electric piano, Happy Mondays beats and jazzy baseline all work perfectly with the originals vocals to deliver the finest pub-backroom-Indie-club experience.

♫ Shine 2009 – Eurozone (CFCF reMix)

Eurozone is taken from Shine 2009’s second album, Our Nation, released later in the year on Cascine.

Shine 2009’s début album

Ever since Cascine’s latest signing Shine 2009 dropped their Paula Abdul featuring single ‘So Free’ we have been dying to hear the album, ‘Realism’ and now we have and can report that it’s good. Very good.

If you have missed Pop music, particularly British Pop music circa 1989-1993 then buy this album as soon as it comes out. This is pure early-90’s Pop, the kind that just makes you smile. The early dance 909 beat or Hip Hop breaks, the M1 piano, the square wave bass sounds, the synth sax, it’s all there and perfectly executed with some catchy songs. The Soul II Soul beats and digital woodwind of ‘New Rules’ are a perfect example. Smooth and laidback, as much dance music was back then, the track both takes you back in time and makes you wanna’ dance. I cant stress enough, if you like early 90’s dace Pop, how much you will love this album!

Shine 2009’s ‘So Free’ video

Shine 2009 are Cascine’s latest offering. This Finnish duo have just released their single ‘So Free’ (Featuring Paula Abdul). It’s a totally late 80’s/early 90’s Pop track that makes me feel so nostalgic, both in look and feel, for a period I didn’t know I felt nostalgic about!

The house piano, the square wave bass sound, the strings, the Hip Hop drums, the synth horns…the haircuts. Love it!

There’s even an M1 in the video!
