9 o’clock Nasty returns with a bang, intensifying the previously released song “Too Cool” with squeaky clean EQ remixes handled by Mark Yorath, DJ Mastersafe, and Phil Haywood. The new remix was released on November 15, 2024, and deserves commendation for transforming the track into a drum & bass mix, which is pushing the upper limits at a tempo of 175 bpm. This is a joy that goes to the edge of chaos but is also mesmerizing in its way.

The song “Too Cool (The EQ Remix)” is not entirely a new makeover of an older track, but there are some hints that it could be called a remix. You could almost say the bass frequencies dominate the track while providing a quickening heartbeat that reverberates throughout your body. The approach taken in the remix respects the idea of ‘starting afresh’ towards the track and unusually accentuates the bombastic parts. There is a relentless pursuit of maintaining darker aesthetics throughout the song, complemented by steadily throbbing industrial techno. The track does not stay still as it constantly adds new beats, basslines and textures. What sets this remix apart is the fusion of emotional vigor with the ethos of being willing to try something new. It sounds like there is a lot of irresistible energy that makes you want to get off of everything. With the combination of beats, there is a loathy deep bass that one can only be absorbed by. Peculiar chills of harmony annul the overwhelming ecstasy of the chorus; there is some sort of beautiful instability undulating beneath this page.

Even in this remix, the band’s characteristic humor and unrestrained imagination are embodied. It’s rare to hear a line like “We weep with joy” and not feel exactly this way about the track. This is a tribute to mutual work and creativity, revealing in what manner such musicians as EQ, Phil Haywood, and DJ Mastersafe can revitalize the track. “Too Cool (The EQ Remix)” is the most brilliant, wild, and vivid material that rings the bell. Step off the carpet, throw on a pair of shoes, and dance like the party is limitless.
