Taking Strong Bass to the Next Level
Deadmau5 had been around for a few years dropping good hits often and when his major club mix album “4x4=12” debuted in 2010. It had a few notable songs and continued Deadmau5 on his progressive climb to EDM royalty. Some Chords was the first song of the album, it and the rest of the album got lots of praise for it’s depth and progressive power to be one beautiful continuous mix. The last song of the album is actually all the songs before it in one big track. With all this, we come to 2015 and the albums While (1<2) and 5 Years of Mau5 are coming out, the former being a new album and the latter being a compilation album of remixes and popular hits. So to kinda cover 4x4=12 and the newest release of Deadmau5, I decided to look at the remix of Some Chords by Dillon Francis that appeared on 5 Years of Mau5. Dillon uses a lot of the original song’s sample to create a different sound that will still remind the listener of the original while being unique. Dillon also pours a lot of dubstep sounds and adds heavy effects to certain samples and parts to make a surprisingly smart and original remix. The song also has a lot more melody and heavier drops than the original, which isn’t necessarily better, but just different. Most remixes and dubstep songs also will lack variety because of drops and a general lack of creativity from the writers, but I’d say that Dillon has outdone himself here and created a superbly varied and well made remix, easily in my top 10 remix list. The Some Chords from 4x4=12 is still better for sure, in replayability and creativity, so you should check it out to get a full understanding and better appreciation of the remix.
