Conner Eko “SINK” (StoneBridge Remix)

Following the smashing success of Conner Eko’s “SINK,” DJ StoneBridge remix brings back the fantastic single through a new lens. Eclectic, passionate, bombastic and ground-shaking, the remix sheds light on the unlimited potentials that Conner Eko’s original “SINK” possesses. The new remix also seems to stimulates an interest in the original arrangement.

Conner Eko’s “SINK” embraces a smooth, luscious retro electronic pop soundscapes that details a dreamscape with sensuous vocal. The night light, romance, and eternity seems to the distant yet touchable dream within listeners’ imagination. The lush track leans towards a glistening disco ball infused dance floor that stays up disturbed by the outside world.

DJ StoneBridge’s remix of the song brings the tempo up by a noticeable amount, taking a more confrontational approach while preserving Eko’s dreamy vocal and love theme, marking a drastic change in the sonic environment. StoneBridge’s remix evokes a darker and more chilling atmosphere with more aggressive beats and less mood-filled synth. In a way, it creates space between the echoing vocal and the beats, making the listening experience a physical one rather than sensuous.

Conner Eko’s vocal in StoneBridge’s remix is flexible and versatile. It’s slightly obscure, however, the charm of the melody seems to continue leading listeners through the experience. The atmospheric portrayal also seems to be widely dominating in the remix.

There’s no doubt that StoneBridge’s remix is drastically different from Eko’s original “SINK.” However, it opens the conversation and the possibilities for the track.
