Jim-E Stack remixes Perfume Genius’ ‘Without You’

Following the release of his fantastic album ‘Set My Heart On Fire Immediately’ earlier this year, Perfume Genius has got his pal Jim-E Stack to remix album gem ‘Without You’.

“To my ears a Perfume Genius album always embodies excellence, from the song-writing to the production to the mixing,” Jim-E Stack says. “Every word, note, and sound feels so purposeful while playing its role in each song and in the greater context of the album. I chose to remix ‘Without You,’ because something about it felt timeless and familiar but also grounded and confident. That gave me room to make a completely new instrumental around the vocal.”

He continues, “even though Mike and I are friends and we’ve worked together in the past, I was admittedly intimidated by the task of remixing ‘Without You.’ Once I found a way to bring the song into my world, I started listening to the remix outside the studio and I knew I had done my thing. I just hoped Mike would want to listen to it too.”
