Winter Severity Index - Fernweh (Hot on the Heels of Ekranoplan) (Remix by Ekranoplan )

"Fernweh (Hot on the Heels of Ekranoplan)" by Winter Severity Index, remixed by Ekranoplan, is a mesmerizing blend of electro, synthpop, and synthwave, steeped in atmospheric textures and haunting melodies.


The remix amplifies the dreamy, ethereal quality of the original with shimmering synth layers, pulsating beats, and a driving yet hypnotic rhythm. Winter Severity Index’s icy vocals glide smoothly over Ekranoplan’s lush soundscape, creating a sense of distance and longing that captures the essence of "Fernweh," the German word for a deep yearning for distant places. The track feels like a journey through an expansive, neon-lit world, evoking both nostalgia and futuristic energy.

 

Ekranoplan's remix brings a modern synthwave sensibility to the song, with retro-futuristic synths and subtle electronic flourishes that nod to the 1980s without feeling overly derivative. The production is sleek, balancing a dark, moody atmosphere with moments of brightness and uplift. This version of "Fernweh" offers a captivating experience that bridges the space between synthpop’s infectious hooks and the atmospheric depth of electro and synthwave. 

Ekranoplan, solo project of Emiliano Tortora from The Hand and formerly of Mat 101, analog synths, drum machines and effects enthusiast and collector The project kick started during the first lockdown in 2020 and had a big boost when Inspiral Carpets’ bass player asked him for two remixes of the same song, which were released on Mark Reeder’s MFS. The style of Ekranoplan is a mix of Krautrock, Kosmische Music, Post-Punk, Carpenter, Morricone and Tangerine Dream’s soundtracks, electro à la Kraftwerk, electronic New Wave à la Fad Gadget, Madchester, '70s Battiato, early Front 242 and DAF, 88/89 Hacienda-like Acid and Psychedelia The debut album, Deutsch-Italienische Freundschaft is out on the newly formed FECT records, distributed by Goodfellas.
