Synth Peter remixes TATUM’s single “Fever”
Synth Peter released his remix of TATUM’s “Fever” on 30th October through Bad Future Records.
The intoxicating electronic track is a novel and previously unheard voyage into the dance music artist’s array of production abilities.
Synth redefines TATUM’s song “Fever”, taking it to new horizons with his throw-your-hands-in-the-air banger, filled with filthy bass lines, immense drops and teasing beats.
Synth Peter explains…
“I first heard ‘Fever’ while driving around in my car. The song was playing on some radio station and caught my ear immediately.
“I turned it up, had a listen and actually thought that the song was by an international artist. As usual, I flipped out my Shazam and discovered TATUM.
“TATUM’s soft vocals and harmonies had me mesmerized and I was immediately inspired to remix the track. The moment I got home, I sent TATUM a DM on Insta asking if she would let me try and remix ‘Fever’. She said yes, I got in my spaceship and started pushing the buttons.”

“This song is about letting the wrong person into your life, about loving someone who is dangerous. Intense love can feel like a fever, but a fever is usually a sign of a deeper infection.
“It’s ultimately a kind of ruinous attraction. It talks about being sucked into a noxious relationship but because it looks so beautiful and the attraction is so powerful, it becomes an almost poetic and beautiful one way ticket to failure.”
Synth Peter adds: “Going in to the remix I had no specific genre in mind, I just knew that I wanted to give the song attitude and power, while still honouring and preserving Tatum’s velvet voice. The remix is soft and playful but also gets down to business real quick with a filthy bass drop that has respect for no one.”
When asked about the future, Synth reveals “My plans for the future consist of preparing for when live shows open up again. I am working towards putting together an electronic band with live singers, instead of just standing behind DJ decks for live events, so I am really excited about that. For now I work on new music every day, for myself as well as other artists and have got a few new songs in the pipeline. This collaboration with TATUM has got me really excited. “Fever” is something special.”
