Cyril Hahn
“Perfect Form” (f/ Shy Girls) (Kaytranada Remix)
Digital Single
I was preparing my “Best Songs of 2013” list, when Canadian producer/remix master, Cyril Hahn, dropped his scorching debut single, so I didn’t have a chance to write about it. The brilliant, moody cut featured a silky assist from Shy Girls vocalist Dan Vidmar.
Earlier today, rising Montreal-native Kaytranada (goddamn, Montreal is killin’ it right now) gave me a reason to bring it back up, in the form of this restrained, deep house remix. Kaytranada (né Kevin Celestin) twists Vidmar’s sultry falsetto* into a revelatory slow-burner that would be equally comfortable in the club, in the bedroom, or with the windows down.
*I appreciate that you could argue that all falsettos are “sultry,” but then there’s Chris Martin. Color me not sure.
