I’m not gonna bullshit around this, I’m not a big fan of Eva Simon’s voice. I can definitely see her doing well on backups, but she lacks the power & personality to be the main act. Thankfully, we get Zedd to bring in some powerful production with that signature breakbeat electro house. If anything, this is just another case of pop progressing past that all too repetitive, outdated EDM. [WAIT FOR IT] (the drop)
Inspired by our Dubstep Remixes of Rock Classics, this time around we’re taking our favorite 80′s & 90′s video games and coiling the shit out of ‘em with style. It originally started out as just general remixes of video game themes, but after compiling the majority of them, it turned out to be mainly dubstep. Unfortunately, that led to a few good remixes getting cut for now, most notably a favorite hip-hop Mario mashup of mine.
I tried my darndest to get the most memorable classics – such as Zelda, Sonic, Mario and a few other noteworthy – but couldn’t manage to find quality ones for a few. There are just so many damn dubstep remixes out there and most of ‘em are complete shit – it’s one of the fastest emerging genres, so there’s bound to be a lot of people hoppin’ on the bandwagon. However, I did manage to come up with 8 solid remixes, so help us come up with the rest and I’ll make sure to give up some cool prizes!! First off, “Hip-Hop Remixes of Video Game Classics”.
Shave It? Am I missing something here? It’s a fairly catchy tune, Zedd’s usually pretty saucy with the melodies, but can’t say the lyrics do much of anything for me. Maybe I’m just missing something, but with these Electro House bangers the words usually never really matter anyway. A decent one from Zedd, but nothing compared to the previous ones I’ve posted about him.
First Zedd remixes a pop song to perfection. Now he’s taking Zelda’s classic theme song and electro housing the shit out of it. Big things are a comin’ from this Mighty Morphin PR villian – looks pretty jacked in that pic, too ;)
The track officially drops on the 21st with a bonus electrixx remix. Follow me on Facebook and I’ll hit you up with it when it releases.
I’m not the biggest pop fan, but I do love me some pop remixes – Zedd’s remix of “The Time” being my latest obsession.
The intro & outro don’t seem finished yet, but everything in-between is party bona fide. Will.i.am is one hell of a producer, but Zedd out gamed him on this one.
Look out for more pop remixes in the works… can’t wait to post ‘em! can you? (Timbaland’s most likely up next)
