Your EDM Streaming Unique: Blackout and John B Thought They Have been Going to Simply Slip this One By…

Truly, what got here out this week with out not almost sufficient fanfare was half 2 of the Pythius Descend remix album. Half 1 was launched in April and it was a large compilation in its personal proper, with remixes from Synergy, Gydra, Mindscape and Merikan. Half 2 is equally stacked with remixes of extra Pythius classics like “Sovereign” by Neonlight and “Akkoord” feat. June Miller remixed by Redpill.

Like half 1, the remix pairings on half 2 of the Descend remixes are a combined bag. Pythius appears to have a knack for selecting artists to remix his tunes who could also be a bit surprising for his model however that exhibits he’s open to plenty of interpretation and variety of sound. The largest wild card, nonetheless, is the remix of “Till the World Burns Down” feat. Voicians. John B remixing a Pythius track? Nicely, A. why not? and B. It makes full sense in the event you bear in mind the unique.

The unique mixture of “Till the World Burns Down” was a stunning, bordering on stunning providing on the Descend album: it was performed at 160 with a heavy, 80s-style synth, a straight beat and melodic vocals. Pythius was enjoying round with synths and tempo lengthy earlier than the present pattern in D&B, and so was Johm B (really John B was experimenting with such components earlier than he was even known as John B), so it makes excellent sense.

John B stored the primary stems of the unique monitor kind of intact for his model of “Till the World Burns Down” however he punched it again as much as 174 in addition to including in much more melodic synths on the intro and breaks. Now the monitor not solely has that lovely and distinctive synth/vox pairing nevertheless it additionally actually rolls for dancefloor functions. You’ll be able to nearly image John B enjoying this monitor in one among his tremendous high-energy units and the place simply going nuts (or maybe you’ve already skilled it, during which case the remainder of us are jealous).

The story of John B on a Blackout launch just isn’t so surprising in spite of everything: Pythius, Blackout and Mr. B are all innovators in D&B and and on this style substance all the time wins out over subgenre. We’re certain glad we caught this one; now go stream and cop it.
