Howling Stole The Night Remixes

"It's hard to gauge an influence... You might not presume Depeche Mode had an impact on your life, but you find yourself playing a new wave bass line in a back cabin in California and you're digging it. Soon after I'm on tour with Frank, and we build around it. It soon takes shape... Nothing on purpose, more for the sake of creation... Seems that's how it always begins... “

So Ry X, one half of musical duo Howling alongside Âme’s Frank Wiedemann, describes new single Stole the Night. Depeche Mode’s urgent, seductive melancholy is indeed a good comparison; Howling write great pop songs in a thrilling electronic palette. That new wave baseline opens the song, and remains its compulsive engine throughout.

Wiedemann, with longtime sparring partner Kristian Beyer as Âme, contributes a remix to the release, transmuting "Stole the Night" into bright, propulsive, Latin-tinged house-with-soul. Meanwhile Midland (Aus Music / Graded) expands the song’s yearning heart over seven minutes of gorgeous deep house groove, closing out the single in the most satisfying fashion.
