Benedict Sinister is a talented artist hailed as the ‘Banksy of music’ who thrives on reimagining music in a groundbreaking way. An Australian raised in Paris, he merges his roles as a poet, singer-songwriter, music producer and video artist to produce what he terms ‘music for sapiosexuals,’ blending cunning wordplay and cultural references with a penchant for provocation.
Emerging in 2018 with his debut single “Ne Dramatise Pas,” the artist has focused on reinterpreting the work of others while shrouding his identity in mystery via his masked appearance. Unfazed by the modern emphasis on originality and authenticity, he embraces erasure, refusing to reveal his face, a move that aligns with his contrarian approach to creativity.
The latest release from Benedict Sinister, “You Dance In The Club (Those Giants Remix),” serves up a lounge-inspired remix of his recent single “Only Sixteen.” Linking up with Los Angeles-based DJ and artist Christian B, Benedict Sinister unveils a piece that not only epitomises his artistic philosophy but also builds on a fruitful partnership with Those Giants.
The remix, produced by Christian B, injects a gentle dance-focused energy into the delicate melodic framework of “Only Sixteen.” A snapping electronic beat sets the pace, accompanied by fluttering synth leads and deep bass lines.
While preserving the charm and rich vocal timbres of the original, “You Dance In The Club” emerges as a laid-back, grooving composition, displaying subtle energy and impeccable sound design. As Benedict Sinister voice carries lines like “so broke, I couldn’t afford to cry” and “It would be better to just let you go, Say I loved you too much as my reason why,” the remix becomes the ultimate rooftop lounge anthem.
Its subtly infectious quality, adorned with Sinister’s distinct spoken word poetry, creates a fusion of classic electronica with a cutting edge twist, offering a piece that’s equally suitable for reflective listening and the dancefloor. Benedict Sinister’s collaboration with Christian B has been marked by success, including the #8 UK Club Chart hit, “Going Away” and with “You Dance In The Club,” the two artists further build on their creative synergy, crafting a beautiful sound that fuses Sinister’s poetic writing with Christian B’s expertise in house and electronic music.
