Album Review: A Love I Can’t Explain Remixes by dBridge
Released in 2019 via Exit Records, A Love I Can’t Explain Remixes is a fascinating dive into the experimental and downtempo corners of electronic music. The UK-based artist dBridge delivers an album that feels both intimate and expansive, blending styles like drum ‘n’ bass with more subdued electronica vibes. With its eclectic mix of tracks and thoughtful production, this project stands out as a testament to dBridge’s versatility.
The album kicks off strong with “They Loved (feat. They Live & Poison Arrow),” a track that immediately grabs your attention. It’s moody yet melodic, layering haunting vocals over intricate beats. You can tell dBridge poured his soul into this one—it doesn’t just play; it breathes. The collaboration adds depth, pulling listeners into a cinematic soundscape that stays stuck in your head long after it ends. If you’re someone who loves music that tells a story without words, this cut will hit differently for sure.
Another standout is “Nachtlus (The Fear Ratio Remix).” This version takes the original track and flips it on its head, introducing heavier textures and darker undertones. The remix keeps things fresh while staying true to the vibe of the album. What makes it memorable isn’t just the technical skill but how it evokes emotion—there’s something almost cathartic about losing yourself in its pulsating rhythms. It’s the kind of song you’d listen to late at night when everything else is quiet.
Credit where it’s due—the behind-the-scenes team also deserves props. UTILE’s design work gives the album cohesive visuals, while Khali Ackford’s photography captures the mood perfectly. And let’s not forget Lewis Stardelta, whose lacquer cuts ensure the audio quality matches the creativity of the music itself.
What strikes me most about A Love I Can’t Explain Remixes is how well it balances experimentation with accessibility. Sure, some parts might feel too avant-garde for casual listeners, but that’s kinda the point. It pushes boundaries without alienating fans of the genre.
Reflecting on the album, I find myself wondering if dBridge intended these tracks to be heard as fragments of a larger narrative—or maybe he just wanted us to lose ourselves in the sound. Either way, it works. Unexpectedly, though, what really lingers isn’t any particular lyric or beat—it’s the sense of discovery you get from listening. Like opening a door you didn’t know was there.
