Throwback Thursday: SBTRKT ft. Little Dragon - Wildfire (Objekt Remix)

Over the past weeks Tiga has been posting his old episodes of My Name Is Tiga as aired on BBC Radio Six. A foundational show for me thanks to Tiga's inimitable wit and incredible track selections, I've been slowly going through each episode injecting myself with nostalgia and a lot of laughs. As a result I've found myself downloading a bunch of that throwback brilliance and while there's a ton of incredible stuff I could gush about, I've decided that for this Throwback Thursday post I'd focus on the incendiary excellence of Objekt's remix of SBTRKT's Little Dragon aided track "Wildfire." Unfortunately there are no full versions available for streaming so we'll have to focus on the shortened Soundcloud upload below, however the power and brilliance of TJ Hertz's tough techno take is unmissable.

A raucous and ruthless future is the deliriously awesome spin Objekt has offered in this new vision. The percussive power is epic, enough to rattle walls with a small subwoofer, just as the snare is sure to shatter bones. Adding the synths to the mix is quite simply cataclysmic. That said, "Wildfire" does not suffer from sheer weight or unwieldy gravity - it is no black hole. Rather, Objekt succeeds in pitting Yukimi Nagano's heavenly vocals against the unholy backdrop by brilliantly incorporating her at the most opportune times as though sprinkling her in like fairy dust. In fact, Objekt is able to retain much of the captivating quality of the original track, while re-contextualizing it into a techno titan - just as Tiga notes in his remix special with Gesaffelstein's remix of Lana Del Rey.
