THEY.‘s break out single ‘Motley Crue’ was one of the best releases of 2015 (number 52 on our list). Since its release it’s seen a plethora of remixes but none truly lived up to the original. That is until I came across this new rework from X&G. For those unfamiliar Xian and Gaszia, the Salt Lake City based duo have been quietly releasing some of the most forward thinking and inventive electronic music out. This remix is yet another example. From the outset militant drums and twisted vocals set the tone. Harsh and grande synths with dark soundscapes are overlayed to create a monumental feel. The feeling is replaced by a low-end bass drop that’s cavernous and dark. From there it continues to progress, moving from an uneasy notion of being hunted, to a more confident swagger punctuated with rap bars. If you appreciate music that takes you on a trip this is an out of this world expedition. Stream below and get the free download.
