Four Tet Gives Eric Prydz’s ‘Opus’ an Epic, Four-Alarm Workout
The latter granted Kieran Hebden's tweeted wish to remix the track
In July, Four Tet, a.k.a. Kieran Hebden, tweeted his desire to remix Swedish progressive house producer Eric Prydz’s nine-minute monster “Opus,” released as part of his label Pryda’s tenth anniversary celebration (including three EPs and his debut full-length due later this year).
am wishing that I get asked to do the remix on that new @ericprydz opus track

He got his wish and we got another stellar addition to each DJ’s catalog. Four Tet strips “Opus” down to a steady, skittering pulse, minimizing Prydz’s synthesized orchestra into background alarm-like wails. Halfway through, he slows it down only to spiral it tantalizingly back up for a good third of the song’s length, and the anticipation is almost better than the release. Listen here.
