Blue Hawaii Doubles Down with "I Felt Love (Salzbauer Rave Edit)" (Arbutus Records)
Blue Hawaii by Peter Zietner
Two years after the release of their electric mixtape Under 1 House, Montreal’s beloved electronic duo Blue Hawaii have revived the magic with the release of “I Felt Love (Salzbauer Rave Edit)” — out December 6th via Arbutus Records.
What was first discovered on Bandcamp as a bootleg rework of their standout track eventually became canon. With this interpretation, Berlin producer Salzbauer sends the BPM soaring and delivers an intoxicating force that’s ready for the rave.
“I Felt Love (Salzbauer Rave Edit)” breathes life into Blue Hawaii’s already-expansive catalogue, continuing their evolution towards a commanding dance-floor sound. The buoyant vocals of singer Raphaelle “Ra” Standell-Preston and transfixing production of Agor “DJ Kirby” intensify with a flailing techno torment, reaching a thrilling climax before mutely conceding to the waves of emotion. From Durocher to the moon, no one is ready.
