Rising UK producer darqwud, fresh off support from Metalheadz and BBC6 Music for his DnB remixes, shifts gears with a melancholic Deep House workout. Built around a dreamy vocal from cult indie band The Mining Co.’s classic ‘Long Way to Christmas,’ this track evokes the strange longing for those liminal Christmas days.
They say “Christmas songs aren’t really the done thing in dance music but there’s a particular kind of longing – a post-Christmas melancholia – that hangs in the air in the days after Christmas, a feeling Mining Co. tapped into perfectly and I wanted to amplify that with a cooler, rhythmic backdrop, pushing the vocal into a fresh, dance-driven territory.”
