CNTR remixes ‘in case we die’ by london-based danish / albanian artist gimi

London-based enigma GIMI emerges from Danish and Albanian roots to meld Scandinavian melancholy with a unique brand of brooding electronic pop, on debut single ‘In Case We Die’.

GIMI has also chosen to collaborate on the release with two incredibly exciting producers, allowing each of them to re-imagine the original idea by drawing on yet more influences from around the world and invoking an entirely different mood from each. Centaur’s version is deeper, darker and with a repeated vocal refrain searching harder than ever, the London-based Swedish songwriter and producer manages to conjure a demon from the depths of GIMI’s subconscious. Icy vocals and skittering percussion lay above a bed of disturbing and irregular bloated bass lines, sparking similarities with SOHN and Chrome Sparks, and causing the song to unravel into a ghost-like reflection captured in murky, half-lit waters.

GIMI has come to the fore with a wealth of inspiration, making this project a truly global one, free from any established or recognizable scene. More than merely a single this first taste from GIMI explores the breadth of potential hidden in the sound and leaves you wondering what direction it might take next.
