“L.L.L. (ATH remix)” sees French producer ATH (Arthur Conseil) deconstruct m0n0 jay‘s viral debut into a relentless, 135+ BPM industrial techno weapon. Stripping away fuchsia neon for dark basement textures, the remix pairs m0n0 jay’s piercing soprano with grimy bass lines, transforming a high-camp pop anthem into a heavy, hypnotic club-ready experience.
The striking, stylish contrasts between the original and ATH’s remix are immediately evident. Whereas the original production begins with chiming lushness and a title-touting vocal enthusiasm, the remix ushers in a heavy bass presence right away — pulsing with infectious energy and panting rhythms as eerie synths bolster the mix as well. The “your lollipop” vocal retains clarity, while the “lick, lick” segment embraces a murkier, intriguing delivery. “Hey it’s me, lovely to see you,” the verses progress with a spirited vibrancy, with shades of Robyn as the delectable “energy flows” hook hits.
An especiala`ly riveting drop around 01:30 continues the sense of replay-inducing momentum, as blaring synths and driving bass continue to persist alongside. “Look into my eyes,” a stirring vocal glistening appears, as the track seamlessly maneuvers between brightened pop approachability and grimier, intensified energy. “L.L.L. (ATH remix)” is a fantastic release from ATH, putting an excellent spin on the already-fantastic “L.L.L. (Lift, Lift, Lick It)” from m0n0 jay.
