Alt-pop artist Tarric dives even deeper into emotional darkness with the release of “I’m a Danger to Myself (Dark Disko Remix),” a reimagined version of his stark and self-reflective single. With a brooding pulse and glacial synth textures, the remix amplifies the original’s sense of psychological unrest, dragging listeners into the shadows with ruthless precision.

Where the original track offered raw vulnerability through aching instrumentation, the Dark Disko Remix replaces minimalism with intensity. Cold, mechanical beats drive the track forward like a slow-motion descent, while Tarric’s chilling vocals echo like thoughts trapped in a looping spiral. Lyrically, the track remains one of his most emotionally exposed: “Now all of these regrets, lock them up forget / The thing I know so well / I’m a danger to myself.”

The remix highlights both Tarric’s willingness to confront inner chaos and his roots in the moody introspection of ’80s new wave and the post-punk revival. Raised in the American Midwest and drawn early to artists like The Smiths, Depeche Mode, and The Killers, Tarric’s work often walks the tightrope between melancholy and defiance.

Singer-songwriter has an exceptional ability to create a vivid, picturesque atmosphere through his lyrics, sound, and overall performance, bringing each song to life. It feels like a soundtrack album that allows every listener to create a short film in their mind. Although remixes often make songs sound less unique and hide the meaning of the lyrics behind a dance-electronic facade, this tendency doesn’t apply to Tarric’s remixes. So it’s not a surprise that his love for music eventually led him to film and television production, where he was able to marry sounds and melodies with visuals at places like NBC and Fox Movie Studios.

The “I’m a Danger to Myself (Dark Disko Remix)” also sets the tone for Tarric’s upcoming second album, Method—a project that promises to be even more introspective and unrelenting than his debut, Lovesick.
