Chanting into a Balearic underworld, We Can Go Everywhere melds synth-pop, disco-house and indie dance brought back from the future. Just when you think the track is about to bust out a set of 80s shoulder pads, with the synth injections screaming out from a bygone era of bigger equals better (the same can also be said about the drop-down bass), the pair roll out the beats with a caution, turning the vibe into something best served come witching hour. Sprinkling the glitz and glamour with grit and candor and a touch of Gallic groove sensibility, the track paves the way for three remixes by Inflagranti, Iñigo Vontier and Richard Rossa.
The future-retro scale is further determined when you have the expertise of In Flagranti (Kitsuné, Phantasy, GOMMA, La Belle, Domino) to truly quantize the boogie, looping the chorus just behind a mix of digital distress signals and road trip guitars until it becomes something close to an incantation of Bananarama. Alex Gloor and Sasha Crnobrnja complete two halves of basement seriousness and a hop down a yellow brick road, giving off sharp catwalk glances before breaking out the worm in the name of Factory funk.
Iñigo Vontier (NANG, Pizzico, Turbo, No Static) trains tracky, fractal-examining synths for a deep tech-disco hustle. Powered by low-slung electro-house blips that cram and gang up on the dance floor, the Mexican producer simultaneously makes the original song sound intensely alone and on the run, the vocal not daring to speak its name until it rushes from the ground on the breakdown with a sense of release. The flashes of those kitsch-tipped synths again keep reminding you of the package’s Euro destination.
Tom Tom Disco’s Richard Rossa (GOMMA, Discotexas, Young Society) is the last one to bring sounds back and forward, putting spit and shine on mainframe sequences so the mirror ball can spin once more. With the ubiquitous synth shunts and bongo percussion not losing sight of the fact that there’s still a pop-ish party going on, the Scandinavian revels in the dust and debris that his machinery comes colored in, coming up with a snippy slice of incessant analogue disco ensuring Local Suicide’s original revels in its retro roots to the last.

Dimitri Kechagias review: It's always refreshing to discover new artists for you that are already present in their music scene for years. Local Suicide is definitely a project that deserves to get recognition and worldwide affection. Their track We Can Go Everywhere is a beautiful electro pop 80's influenced anthem with early 90's balearic house infusions. Strong electronic synthy melodies upon the funky groove and the playful bassline merged with the simple but so sweet female vocals with lyrics that you can identify and sing a long with your friends. Hypnotic with sunny atmosphere We Can Go Everywhere will travel you Everywhere with the help of hypnotic sounds. The remix package is very pretty with wide variety of choices. In Flagranti remix is a blissful deep tech house version with dubby influences and great electro basslines running throughout. Superb irresistible feel good rhythm ensures that the party will catch fire. Inigo Vontier remix is a deeper electro prog house version with electro basslines, rolling drums and delicate electro pop touches. Last but not least Richard Rossa service the very relaxing, chillin, lounge house version with indie dance influences and warm sunkissed melodies. Summer anthem for eclectic ears! #PureGold Love IT
