Leave it to Witch House OG oOooO to take a cheesy, sexy electro-dance single and turn it into a gothic club banger--that's exactly what's been done with the remix of Nadia Oh's "My Egyptian Lover." The remix features a pulsating synthesizer sample from Boards of Canada's "Corsair" along with distorted chopped-and-screwed beats throughout (the remix is considerably slower than the original, almost to a surreal crawl). The processed vocals (autotuned?), which sound playful and exotic on the original, turn into something spooky and machine-like on the remix. Even the lyrics take on a new persona--in the context of oOoOO's fantastic production, they become haunting, especially when oOoOO reverses it all towards the climax a la the Beatles' psychedelic heyday.
Below are two videos, the campy original music video and the remix respectively, so you can witness the dramatic reimagining for yourself:
