There’s a moment, right before a remix takes flight, when you can feel the air shift. The lights dim a notch. The floor tightens. Someone, somewhere, leans closer to the speakers. On Traitrs’ reimagining of Toronto post-punk duo Modele’s You Are My Sin, originally on Pleasures Of The Holy, that shift happens almost immediately. A low throb rolls in, patient, predatory, and suddenly the chapel of the original becomes a midnight club with stained-glass windows rattling in the bass.
Traitrs always understand atmosphere the way some bands understand hooks. They don’t rush the ritual; the beat lands with intent: steady, stalking, edged in ice. Synth lines stretch longer here, darker in hue, turning the song’s devotional ache into something more dangerous. Where Modele’s version glowed with ceremony, Traitrs lace it with a more restrained tension. The space between notes feels charged, like a held breath shared by a roomful of strangers.
You Are My Sin is about the collision of faith and flesh; pleasure braided with guilt, desire dressed in incense. In this remix, that collision feels physical. The drums hit harder, the low end digs deeper, and the chorus rises like a confession whispered into a mic at 2 a.m. Huggett’s vocal floats above the mix with a new urgency, less sermon and more surrender. Each line lands like a vow made under red lights.
There’s something cinematic in the way Traitrs rebuild the track. They let it simmer, then slowly widen the frame. The bass swells, the synths gleam, sharp as chrome in a dark room. The sacred and the profane spin together under a mirror ball that feels just slightly cracked. Traitrs never overcrowd the arrangement. They carve space with care, letting the tension coil and release in measured waves. The altar has been carried onto the dancefloor, and the incense has mixed with dry ice. Somewhere between the kick drum and the last echo of that chorus, devotion becomes motion. You step back into the night air changed, pulse steady, the echo of that beat still ticking under your ribs.
