Some songs demand a reinvention worthy of their brilliance. “Drug In Us,” the track that New Yorker Mindchatter co-wrote with the fathers of Californian daytime disco, Poolside, was one of them. And now it has: British producer Aaron Hibell delivers a sumptuous remix, released by Maison Arts, that transforms the melodic gem into an atmospheric, expansive, and electrifying soundscape.
Let’s start with the source material. Mindchatter, aka Bryce Connolly, is one of the most singular electronic projects of his generation: a writer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist, he blends introspective lyrics with undeniably danceable beats, refusing to choose between mind and body. His third album, “Giving Up On Words,” from which “Drug In Us” is taken, is the culmination of this two-pronged songwriting approach. Joining him on the track is Poolside, the project of Jeffrey Paradise, born in a converted Los Angeles pool house and the inventor of a genre all his own—a daytime disco, sunny and fluid, tested on all the major stages, from Coachella to Primavera Sound. The marriage of these two worlds already yielded a hybrid track, somewhere between golden groove and nocturnal melancholy.

It still needed a third dimension. This is where Aaron Hibell comes in, the Midlands prodigy who has become one of the most sought-after sonic wizards on the British scene. His niche: cinematic electro where orchestras and machines become one, heard on the soundtrack of the film “Tetris,” in the aftermovie of the Ultra Music Festival, and on his album “Synchronicity.” His remix of Billie Eilish’s “Chihiro,” which went viral with tens of millions of views, cemented his reputation.
In contrast to “Drug In Us,” Hibell plays the contrast card: hypnotic breaks, dramatic stutters, and symphonic textures that engulf the original melody without ever drowning it out. The track breathes, builds in intensity, then tears itself apart only to be reborn—exactly the kind of reinvention that leaves you breathless. This remix is part of the reinventions section of “Giving Up On Words,” a project where Mindchatter opened his compositions to a stellar lineup of producers, from Justin Martin to aka Vinnie, including live edits tailored for the stage.
At plusfm, this remix is already in heavy rotation: it’s exactly the kind of collaboration where three complementary talents are greater than the sum of their parts—sharp songwriting, a Californian groove, and monumental production. Plug in, turn up the volume, and let the mixture work its magic — until late into the night.
