Mark Lower’s remix of ‘Disco Lights’ gives Peppermint Heaven’s retro-pop instincts a cleaner, more overtly club-oriented setting. The LA duo have long drawn from 80s pop and electronic music, and this version keeps that foundation intact while moving the track towards contemporary nu-disco. Mark Lower’s production is focused less on dramatic reinvention than on tightening the groove, sharpening the rhythm and giving the song a more consistent dancefloor pulse.
Short, clipped bass stabs provide much of the momentum, while the rest of the arrangement remains relatively streamlined. The remix avoids overcrowding the track, instead relying on repetition, texture and pacing to create movement.
That makes it an effective match for Peppermint Heaven’s existing style. Their work often sits between nostalgia and modern production, and ‘Disco Lights’ continues that balance without leaning too heavily on either side.
The accompanying video also extends that atmosphere. Its role is primarily to reinforce the remix’s visual and stylistic identity, pairing the polished disco feel with imagery that reflects the sleek, nocturnal character of the music.
As a remix, ‘Disco Lights’ is relatively straightforward in its intentions. It preserves the melodic identity of the original while giving it a stronger rhythmic focus and a more immediate club sensibility.
Throughout this new release, Peppermint Heaven and Mark Lower find a slightly different angle on the same material and let the groove do the work.
