Paris-based duo Nadeah & Beki have shared a new post-punk remix of their song ‘Ou Est Tu?’, courtesy of none other than Nouvelle Vague’s Marc Collin. A high-pulse offering, the song is built on a crunching bass line, stabbing synths and racing drum programming. Drawing inspiration from early 80s new wave as much as post-punk, the rework has a Suicide synth-punk feel to it. The vocals add the extra notch of seduction that fits like a hand in glove.

The original version of ‘Ou Est Tu?’ is taken from Nadeah & Beki’s latest EP Dream Bitches, out on Kwaidan Records.

In regards to the remix, Marc Collin stated:

“I asked Nadeah to write a song in French, I always loved when someone is writing something not their native language. It’s keeping to a kind of naivety and purity. She came at the studio with these ‘Ou es tu?’ lyrics and I plugged my old Crumar organizer organ (kind of cheap imitation of the famous Hammond B3). I combined 2 rhythm patterns (yes you can do this) and we started to play (there are 2 keyboards, up and low). I put a distortion pedal to get a heavier sound and we recorded it live! Then we recorded the vocals with Beki and I added simple drums (I wanted to create something like Go! from punk rockers Tones on Tail). For this remix I wanted to create a very Cramps / Alan Vega feel to the track, hope you like it.”
