Christian Löffler’s labyrinthine track "Vind", off his latest EP, Mares Remixes Pt1, has been remixed by fellow electronic artist Max Cooper. Löffler aims to merge melancholy and euphoria in his music - a goal which he has certainly achieved. "Vind", along with the other tracks on the original Mare EP, has reached over 3.8 million plays on Spotify and thousands of views on YouTube and Apple Music.
Max Cooper’s style reflects his interest in the natural world, his love of music, and his successful attempts at exploring how the two can intersect. In his 8-minute remix of "Vind", he adds a darker, more brooding tone to the track by incorporating ambient drum sounds and house beats. The layers of the remixed track creates tension that stays true to Löffler’s aim of mixing a somber mood with a happy one, while evoking a sense of a natural, wild landscape.
In the Max Cooper "Vind" remix, he shows his admiration for Löffler by presenting a remix that seeks to respect the original. In doing so, no unnecessary elements are added, but rather the progression is layered and the harmonies are brought forward. “It was one of those tracks that just seemed right to me,” says Loffler. There is no hierarchy of the remix or original being better than each other. They exist side by side, the choice is up to the listener about which one they are in the mood to listen to.
