Every now and then, we find our dark hearts yearning for a bit of sweetness and light—a spot of pop music, in other words. And, call us corny if you will, but the Danish singer/producer (and former ballerina) Oh Land and her single “Sun of a Gun” are hitting just the spot right now.

Call it a springtime thing: the ‘60s-inspired chords and singalong chorus just sound so right once the sun comes out. We’re clearly not alone in feeling this way: she’s racked up over eight million views on YouTube so far, and we’re pretty sure we’ve even heard the song on Delta Airlines during boarding. So, no: not even a little bit underground, but who cares?

Fortunately, for DJs that want to lighten up a house, disco, or indie-dance DJ set with Oh Land’s buoyant melodies, there’s also a Yuksek remix of the tune, vaguely Fred Falke in style, that toughens up the beat and piles on layer after buzzing layer of synthesizers. The remix came out on Sound of Copenhagen 6 at the beginning of February, accompanied by cuts from Tuff City Kids, Djuma Soundsystem, and Andrew Weatherall remixing Trentemoller. For anyone who has even the slightest pop inclinations, it’s well worth checking out.

We’ve posted the video for the original song above; keep reading to check out Yuksek’s version.
