The track didn’t end. It faded . The synths layered over each other like parting clouds. The last lyric whispered into the void: “Only you…”

Despite its popularity in the house and disco scene, this remix has had a complicated history with licensing. Due to the complexities of sampling 80s Italian copyright law, the track has been removed and re-uploaded to streaming services several times. As of 2025, you can find the on:

“The original. It’s about obsession. This version?” She gestured at the glittering synth arpeggios raining down from the speakers. “This version is about survival.”

To celebrate the song’s 40th anniversary, (Belgian DJ and producer Stephen Fasano) was tapped to provide a fresh perspective.

If you are building a playlist for a late-night drive, a sunset rooftop party, or a moment of quiet reflection, do not settle for the short version. Crank up the volume, press play on the , and let Savage and The Magician take you back to the future.

To understand the remix, one must understand the remixer. The Magician, the moniker of Belgian producer Stephen Fasano, has carved out a very specific niche in the electronic landscape. Since his breakthrough with the summer anthem "Sunlight" and his celebrated "Magic Tape" series, Fasano has become synonymous with a sub-genre often described as "nu-disco" or "melodic house."

Before we discuss the remix, we must respect the source. (the musical project of Italian singer Roberto Zanetti) was a pioneer of the Italo disco movement. His 1984 hit "Only You" was a brooding, synth-heavy lament. Unlike the high-energy, carefree pop of the era, "Only You" had a darker, romantic tension. The original track featured robotic basslines, haunting brass stabs, and Zanetti’s deep, desperate croon.

Is better than the original? That is a divisive question. Purists will argue that nothing beats the raw, 1984 Italo production. However, for the dancefloor, the answer is a resounding yes .

His signature sound is not aggressive; it is hypnotic. The Magician deals in sonic optimism. His productions often feature analog synthesizers that sound like they are basking in a golden sunset. He has a knack for taking songs that feel insular and opening them up to the sea. When his name appears next to a track, the listener expects a certain level of gloss, a propulsion that drives the song forward without stripping away its soul.

One cannot discuss without mentioning its popularity on YouTube and SoundCloud. The most viewed uploads usually feature a loop of grainy, VHS-style footage of 80s Ferraris, neon lights, and rainy city streets. There is a "liminal space" quality to the track. It sounds like nostalgia feels—sweet, distant, and a little painful.
