Eyeliner Remixes Equip's 'Shadow Dancer'

Pōneke electronic artist Eyeliner (Luke Rowell aka Disasteradio) has lifted the lid on a evocative reimagining of 'Shadow Dancer', the groove-driven latest single from Chicago vaporwave producer Equip. Eyeliner transmogrifies Equip's original with sassy sax and alternately sunny and suspenseful synths, building a bridge somewhere between the sonic fantasia of Italo icon Valerie Dore's 1986 classic The Legend and the gritty streetwise vibes of Harold Faltermeyer's soundtrack for mid-80s Chevy Chase vehicle Fletch. Both versions come accompanied by more remixes of 'Shadow Dancer' by fellow vaporwave legends Saint Pepsi and Esprit, and a limited edition 7" of the single featuring special vinyl-exclusive tracks is currently flying out the door via 100% Electronica.

It seems like the multi-talented Aotearoa artist never stops working – Rowell was a background animator on Coco Solid's must-see new cartoon show Aroha Bridge (you can watch the whole series here), and recently performed in a Paul Shaffer-eque role alongside comedian Tim Batt in Space Couch at the NZ International Comedy Festival 2019.
