Tobias Bergson’s remix of Karmacoda’s ‘Time’, released this past weekend via Sola Musa Music, is a electrifying collision of talent that’s got me buzzing as a music junkie. Bergson, an Austrian producer with over 180 million streams, has been tearing it up on labels like Armada and Universal Music Austria, earning shoutouts from legends like Don Diablo and Steve Aoki. His tracks have dominated airwaves on RTÉ 2FM and CBC Music’s Afterdark, while racking up plays on Spotify’s Electronic Rise and Deep House Relax playlists. On the flip side, Karmacoda—the San Francisco trio of Jessica Ford, Brett Crockett, and Eric Matsuno—brings two decades of genre-defying magic, blending electronica, trip-hop, and R&B with a vibe that echoes Adele and Massive Attack. This remix is more than just a beat drop—it’s a sign of where music’s headed.
Remixes are the lifeblood of today’s music scene, revitalizing tracks and flinging them into new orbits. They’re a sandbox for artists to mess with sounds, crossing genres and generations in ways that keep fans hooked. Think about how remixes keep classics alive—older songs get a facelift, hooking younger listeners who might’ve scrolled past the original. They’re also a chance for artists to flex their creativity, pushing boundaries and staying fresh in a world where trends flip overnight. The Elton John and Britney Spears collab on ‘Hold Me Closer’ in 2022 is a perfect case: a remix of John’s ‘Tiny Dancer’ that didn’t just ride nostalgia but turned it into a global smash, topping charts in five countries and cracking the top ten in 19, per Billboard. It’s proof remixes aren’t just background noise—they’re game-changers that can redefine an artist’s legacy.
Tobias Bergson’s remix of Karmacoda’s “Time” takes the original’s introspective tone and infuses it with vibrant energy, blending Afro House and Melodic House elements. Bergson himself noted, “I found the vocals of this song really beautiful, and I instantly loved the whole vibe. When I listened to the track, I was curious to see if I could bring the ideas I had in my head to life. I wanted to produce a song that leans slightly towards Afro House and also has a touch of Melodic House, and the vocals were just perfect for that.” His creative vision highlights how remixes serve as a playground for innovation, allowing artists to experiment and reshape tracks into something bold and new.
