Remixing While Staying True
Flume has real talent for making electro-pop music, holding a lot more depth then most music from the genre. His music is defiantly not your normal stuff that you hear on any radio station (which is a good thing). Starting with a progressively growing voice mixed with long synths from the original song, the song builds fantastically for a great drop that can really make you want your volume to unreasonably loud level. I have turned up the sound three times while writing this review, it REALLY is that good. The drops and bridges are fantastic and some how the drop actually improves the second time with some good alterations and added parts. The sounds aren't that unique when compared to other techno, but they are extremely well orchestrated and the bass synths and thumping of the bass drum create a unique blend of electronic music. There are samples of his voice that also echo from left to right in a ping-pong feel, so if you can listen to this song with good headphones too, you won't regret it. Just like an artist will use empty space to emphasize certain things in a painting, this remix uses of pauses and emptier parts to really make the other parts punch with more power. Also many songs fail to use good source material to make something new and or use a addicting or familiar sample/part of a song just to receive nostalgic attention. But his remix does what it is supposed to; take parts of a song and create something new without completely loosing the original in the process. A great remix of a good song that I can't stop replaying.
