Amsterdam-based artist Jorge Natalin teams up with Avid Beats for a lovely stylistic twist on “Stitch Me Up,” a track first featured on Natalin’s album Coming Down From Heaven. A rocking drum ‘n’ bass lens is on display here, expanding from the original track’s singer-songwriter approachability. The production balances dreamy, ambient minimalism with high-throttle rhythmic energy.
The production stirs in its range of dreamy spaciousness and intensely rhythmic punchiness. The former is apparent initially, the “cut right open, so much pain” heartfelt vocals combine with twinkling piano and a murky, subtly crackling ambience. Vulnerable lyricism compels alongside this momentum-filled commencement, a “this love is mine” vocal intensity then traversing into pulsing rhythms and playful, spacey synths.
A title-touting vocal yearning — beckoning to “fix me up” — arrives around the one-minute turn, bolstered by booming bass and hectic rhythms. The track envelops in its dynamic tonal range, impressing with a seamless cohesion across lush introspections and danceable electro-pop whimsy. Avid Beats’ ability to re-imagine the original track from its original singer-songwriter territory into a full-bodied, drum ‘n’ bass energy is very impressive. This is further apparent at the three-minute mark, when whirring electronics and a fury of climactic rhythms arrive into a final, satiating “stitch me up” imploration. Avid Beats’ remix of Jorge Natalin’s “Stitch Me Up” is a firmly memorable success.
