‘Happens At Night’ is a sun kissed, Balearic chugger that builds warmly around a standout vocal and feels like it is moving at more than one tempo thanks to some deft shuffling percussion. That’s the original mix anyway, and as the package is one of remixes, is it improved on? Ron Basejam’s mix takes things in a more urgent direction, thanks to strategically positioned synth stabs and some shaky stuff. The Bruise remix isolates the vocal more, with drama in between. The dub does what dubs often do; chops and cherry picks the vocal’s peaks and troughs, pushing the housier edge in the process. This will probably be thought of as “one for the more mature crowds” (whatever that means) ; “and rightly so” as Steve McManaman would say.
