I have to admit that I used to absolutely hate remixes. That's only because whenever I would hear them on the radio, they were so generic that it just killed the original song. A lot of DJ's will just slap a kick drum on every beat and some synths and call it a day. That was really what irritated me. But in my travels I've grown to love remixes because I've found some really good ones. They must include a melodic sensibility that works well with the original song. If done well, remixes can bring many things while paying respects to the original artist. Today I'm proud to present one such remix. Revoke's remix of Magnolia by Wilsen takes a gorgeous melody and vocal from the original track and gives it a new feel that is rife with tension. It creates a mood that is strangely chilling, yet beautiful. It gives me the feeling of the calm before the storm. The soft spoken breathy vocals contrast the suspense that comes through the haunting cello and minor chord progression. It really is a perfectly executed vision and musical idea, absolutely a must listen. I came across this remix when Candyland shared it on their facebook page. I'm glad to see that it's starting to get some attention that it so richly deserves! Make sure to grab the free download!
