New Remix: Girls on Film – Too Close (Jemex Remix)

Powered by a scorching keyboard and tetchy, lashing sounds, Girls On Film sets a hot backdrop for Jemex’s even hotter remix. Girls On Film provides a brilliant new wave canvas that conjures memories of 80’s pop a la Duran Duran or Human League. If one were to describe the band’s niche as the next generation of new wave, then the Jemex remix of “Too Close” might be called neo-electro-new wave-club-pop on acid.

With layered complexity of a wide range of sounds from crunchy baseline, clashing symbols and playful modification with Rio’s vocals, it is impossible to sit still while listening. For dance aficionados the remix is arguably more enjoyable than the original. It is not a simple remix as Jemex takes “Too Close” to the next level by producing a more modern, entirely different sounding song that is perhaps too original to be defined by genre.
