It is no secret that Henrik B has established himself as something of a beacon for Swedish House music’s promising new school contenders. Armed with robust keys, well executed builds and a haunting vocal line from Rudy, the contemporary Swede producer hits a middle ground in global House music that defies the tedium of his chart-raking peers while still playing out as universally attainable to both the club floor and radio alike.
But calling upon Dutch daredevils NO_ID for remix duties, ‘Leave A Light On’ is given an essential injection of the Axtone duos hard-hitting musical stamina from the outset. Drawing on the originals anthemic vocal line and building a canvas of solid synth work around its emotive tones, their remix transitions from piercing keys to aggressive chords with impressive technical substance. Their remodel, though invariably close to their securely established sound, is enough to place them at the heart of their genre while establishing a firm ground for the Dutch duo not only to claim their diversity amid their hometown peers, but to soar to unprecedented levels amid a European onslaught within Electronic music.

klockren release, en av årets fetaste hitills
Bandis says:
Nice release, but i kinda feel like ”That’s all?”. I dunno, it kinda ended quickly, and i ecpected more energy from the second drop ….I believe Henrik could do way more cause i know he is a very talented producer, as someone can see during the build up, but after and before…Overall a good release, and as for the NO_ID remix, it’s just a mash up with ”How R U Feeling Right Now” and some parts and vocals from the original. Kinda overused ”that sound” of theirs.

Been waiting for so long, finally! Sickest track this far into 2012!
Bruce Kable says:
Love the vocal in this one! And although it’s true that this is the 3rd release in a row (excluding Zelda) in which they used the same sound, listening purely to this package the NO_ID remix is way funkier and better than the original mix IMO
