Kasper Bjørke / Tears We Haven’t Cried (Justin Strauss Remix)

Following the warm reception of Kasper Bjørke’s album “Puzzles” which came out this summer, we now see one of its standout tracks, “Tears We Haven’t Cried”, reimagined by none other than Justin Strauss - a true icon in the New York music scene, boasting over three decades of influence and innovation.

The original, featuring Toby Ernest’s haunting vocals, struck a chord with its subtle groove and timeless hooks, and now, Strauss has given the song a fresh edge for the dance floors.

Strauss takes the original and toughens it up, infusing the track with a gnarly bassline and throbbing house beats. His additional vocal processing adds a touch of grit, transforming the song into something darker, suited for late-night sets. The raw energy here complements Ernest’s melancholic tones without overshadowing its emotional core.

For the purists, the instrumental version lets the groove shine uninterrupted and the acapella version offers DJs the chance to manipulate Ernest’s vocals in any direction they please.

With this remix, Strauss once again proves why he’s a stalwart of the scene, balancing the original’s allure with his own innovative touch.
Justin says of the remix: “The first time I heard “Tears We Haven’t Cried” it really connected with me and I knew immediately that I wanted to remix it. I feel lucky that Kasper and Toby were into the idea as well and hope you like the result.”
