Optometry, the dynamic duo comprised of John Tejada and March Adstrum, treats listeners to an electrifying display of remixes with “Whatever You Need (Dntel Remix)” and “Technicolor (Silent Servant Remix).” As the artists reimagine their own tracks, they effortlessly blend a variety of styles and soundscapes, resulting in a captivating listening experience.
In “Whatever You Need (Dntel Remix),” Jimmy Tamborello, known as Dntel from The Postal Service, weaves his magic by adding playful synth layers and a lively bass guitar. This transformation infuses the song with a trashy and energetic indie rock feel. Supported by filtered drums and indie-inspired guitar work, the track maintains a high level of energy while gradually intensifying. A well-crafted breakdown adds a moment of pause before the song gracefully moves towards its conclusion.
Meanwhile, Juan Mendez, also known as Silent Servant, takes “Technicolor” into peak-time territory with his remix. The track adopts an electronic vibe, driven by a techno bassline and a white noise-infused drum rhythm. The vocals are submerged into subtle atmospheres, allowing the intense rhythms and synths to shine. Fragmented vocal elements add a touch of spice to the mix, enriching the overall sonic experience.
