• A bold fusion of 60s soul and futuristic Hypertechno-Trance
• Nostalgic 90s synths meet frenetic Hardstyle energy
• A chaotic yet oddly cohesive dancefloor weapon
This is quite a strange rework, both in its final outcome and its choice of source material, which comes from a very different era. The Marvelettes’ “Please Mr. Postman” is 64 years old (yes, 1961!), and hearing it reimagined as a Hypertechno-Trance banger that sounds like it’s from the year 3023 is… wild. And honestly? It’s great!
The genius behind this eclectic experiment is German producer TRiB, who masterfully fuses the original soulful vocals with nostalgic 90s synths, then cranks the BPM to dizzying heights. The result is an aggressive, high-octane track that flirts with Hardstyle in its anticlimax but somehow keeps a funky, playful synth line front and center. It’s chaotic, but in the best way possible.
I can’t quite wrap my head around all the different elements at play here: soulful vocals, retro synths, frenetic beats, and a Hardstyle-inspired drop—but that’s what makes it so entertaining. The track feels like it’s constantly moving, with the beat dancing around unpredictably. It even ends abruptly, as if time itself couldn’t keep up with the energy.
The kick isn’t overwhelmingly heavy, but I’d describe it as pulsating. Relentless and driving, it keeps pushing the track forward in a way that feels almost hypnotic. It’s the kind of beat that grabs you and doesn’t let go, even if you’re not entirely sure what’s happening.
So, “Mr. Postman” is quite a unique rework. It’s impressive, entertaining, and feels like a secret weapon for any underground event. It’s a track that can bridge generations, appealing to both the nostalgic soul lovers and the rave-aholics craving something fresh and frenetic.
If I had to critique it, I’d say the chaotic nature might not be for everyone. It’s a lot to take in, and the abrupt ending might leave some listeners wanting more closure. But for those who enjoy a wild ride, this is a gem.
I’m so happy to have stumbled upon this underrated track. TRiB has taken a risk here, and it pays off in spades. If you’re looking for something that’s equal parts nostalgic and futuristic, “Mr. Postman” is your track. Just be ready to keep up!
