Triton– Borgeous & TyDi – “Wanna Lose You (Triton Remix)“-  What started as a remix for a Borgeous contest, Triton’s creation of “Wanna Lose You” fuses trap beats and EDM into its production. Matt Francisco, the man behind the triumphant name, uses subtle changes that changes the direction and feel of the original track. The original seemed to possess a “lighter” side to the emotional value of not wanting to lose someone. Triton’s use of brass and heavier bass drops takes the softness out from the original track and high-lights stronger feelings. An overall clean remix that still holds onto the original heart of Boregous.

Bronze Whale – Crywolf “Slow Burn (Bronze Whale Remix)“-  Austin based duo, Bronze Whale, recreate the electronic hit from Crywolf, and adjust the emotional aspect through their use of extraction during production. Already amazing on it’s own, “Slow Burn” is a great electronic track from Crywolf, and if possible, Bronze Whale revives the important contents while focusing on a powerful sound. The remix features great drops and futuristic synths that takes Cryworlf’s words into another dimension. Bronze Whale’s skilled ear changes the original tone and adds anxiety to the structure.
