Sanders Bohlke – Search and Destroy (Ruda Krishna Remix)

sandersbolhke

Sanders Bohlke’s plaintive, soul-bearing ballad “Search and Destroy” gets an awesome electro makeover by NY DJ Ruda Krishna. Sometimes the most wrenching types of melodies can be turned flipped into some of the best electronic music (“Levels”, Moby’s Play era, etc.) and Mr. Krishna’s mix is a very strong example.
