FTSE is a beatmaker we’ve had our eyes on for quite awhile now, and it’s particularly due to his captivating depiction of chillwave and ability to galvanize vocal artists in a downright splendid manner. Today, we’re delving into his latest remix of the UK-based alternative band, Honours, in which Sam Manville (FTSE) runs the vocals through a broad pipe of effects and revivifies the temperament of the original with his adept instrumentation. Hefty bass elements, coiling vocal cuts, and euphoric synths typify the rendition and give it a pristine identity in comparison to the original. Manville acknowledges the original vocals and leaves them unaltered, but what he craftily adds are echoed, choir-like background harmonies that further bolster the exhilaration of the piece. The result is wholly intricate, and though it’s labeled as a remix, FTSE has without a doubt taken a step further with the ingenious inclusions—giving it a signature touch that’s incomparable.
