Earlier this year, electronic-pop band Safetalk shared their debut single "Universal" via a generative music video directed by Boston-based artist Christopher Konopka. Today, they're sharing a remix from UK duo JeanGa & George that takes the track right on into summer. The twosome, who are recent signees to Joe Goddard's Greco Roman label, switch out the original's swirling, psychedelic sound for a more dancefloor-friendly, Balearic version that chugs softly along like an ocean breeze. Perfect for playing in the open air, its ethereal lyrics also offer a few minutes of much-needed optimism and catharsis.

Speaking to THUMP over email, Safetalk say of the remix,"[JeanGa & George] have this way of working we love that creates this really distinct sound and that's translated so well here. A global remix for a global message. We're keen to see more of our songs re-imagined by other acts from all over the world, but it's great to start that conversation with these London-based boys. We just need to all keep on talking, transmitting on all frequencies and some day we'll find a universal language, maybe even universal happiness."
