Italian based designer and remixer extraordinaire Monsieur Adi once again shows off his fine knack for serving up grand, epic productions with his brand-new remix of Darren Hayes' excellent "Bloodstained Heart" that is taken from Hayes' forthcoming new LP "Secret Codes & Battleships."

Adi masterfully intensifies Hayes' stunning original by stripping out the song's original arrangement and replacing it with a deeply atmospheric new layer that perfectly accentuates Hayes' gutwrenching vocal delivery. Adi stays true to his Roman roots, combining baroque sonic richness with detailed execution and classic craftmanship. This remake of "Bloodstained Heart" is a sublime new take on the equally beautiful original. 

In related Darren Hayes news, the Aussie pop singer is gearing up for the release of his much-anticipated new album Secret Codes & Battleships on October 25. It's a pop record of "titanium" strength featuring collaborations with Robert Orton (Lady Gaga), Carl Falk (Robyn, Nicole Scherzinger), Phil Thornalley (Pixie Lott, Natalie Imbrugila), Steve Robxon (Taylor Swift, Take That) and Walter Afanasieff who also worked on Hayes' "Spin" album and Savage Garden records.

Darren and I caught up for a trans-Pacific video chat to talk about the process leading up to "Secret Codes & Battleships," the big theme that drove his songwriting and music, and the overall aesthetic of the record. Watch that interview here.
