Description: come along with us, on a trip down south

This is areat epic emotional "let it out "song. Fantastic tempo change after a minute. Awesome playing (drums, guitars, trumpet(?) ) and then the part with girl vocals suddenly showing up, I didn't expect that at all, after that again the totally different male vocal sound...

The initial idea was just to create a video of Kris Bolin's remix of the fantastic "If The Kids Wanna Dance (Let Them Dance)" by Marc Freak. These two guys are geniuses and tbh I still think Kris' remix is the definitive version of the song -- which, of course, didn't stop me from making another remix just to celebrate one of the tracks that makes my top 10 playlist (I'm still capable of listening to it ten times in a row).

I started creating the video in Premiere and, out of pure curiosity, increased the bpm and added techno beats. It all went very well with the footage of young Ukrainians dancing at a rave party. After that, I rushed to ask Marc if I could do another ITKWD remix (lol).

The 1st Instagram promo video was created with scenes from the fantastic documentary "Exploring Ukraine's Underground Rave Revolution", produced by Kate Villevoye for i-D's YouTube channel:

A prolific musician, author, photographer and (as he defines himself) oddity, Marc's influences range from the lo-fi pop of Guided by Voices to the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, via the glam of Bowie and the rawness of Iggy Pop. Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe, an experiment in DIY and lo-fi. A visit to Marc Freak's Soundcloud page is an absolute must:

Kristopher "Kris" Bolin is a virtuoso at creating polyphonic vocals, so if you want a collab with him, be prepared to receive a pile of audios that form a choir as complex as a baroque cantata (lol). Kris is the lead singer and guitarist of the amazing band The Bawl Slant, one of the most active and respected bands in the Soundcloud community. Their sound ranges from garage rock to grunge and punk rock, always with impeccable quality. As one of the band's fans, I highly recommend checking out their excellent material:

Hope you enjoy this new version of ITKWD.

LYRICS

If the kids wanna dance
Hot shoes - tight pants
High spirits - cheap bear
My eardrums - Can't hear or won't hear
I'm not here

[Chorus]
If the kids wanna dance let them dance, let them dance
If the kids wanna dance let them dance

I'm tired - so what?
Party - I forgot
Can't take the pace
But I'm trying to catch the bass, deep bass
In yer face

[Chorus]

One step, one fall
I'm proud I've gall
Raise your finger in the air
Let the world know you care
I don't care, I don't care

[Chorus]
