DIY Tracks: Niki & The Dove – ‘Mother Protect’ (Goldroom Remix)

Originally written for and published on This Is Fake DIY…

Niki & The Dove have had an incredible year, one that’s been complete with high-demand shows and two stunning EPs. Now Goldroom, aka Binary’s Josh Legg, has reworked ‘Mother Protect’, the Swedish duo’s most euphoric track to date. While Malin Dahlstrom’s soaring vocals remain largely untouched, the tribal tremor of the original is transformed and extended into a seven-minute floor-filler. Alongside heavily placed piano lines and its disco-based, beat driven direction, ‘Mother Protect’s multi-faceted sonic alteration fuses 80s-electronica with clattering cowbells and fantastical fairy-tale lyrics, which all coexist to create this thoroughly elating take on a song that’s already dazzling in its own right.
