Back in 2014, DJ Snake kicked off the year with one of the best Essential Mixes of the year. The two hour mix showcased how nice Snake truly was on the decks and gave a glimpse into immense potential DJ Snake possessed as a producer. The mix was filled with standout records but one that always stood out the most was his remix of the Michael Jackson classic ‘Thriller.’ The track was never officially released but has lived on as one of the under-the-radar gems that fans have always wanted to get their hands on.
With Halloween just around the corner, we figured there’s no better choice for this week’s Tracks You May Have Missed selection then DJ Snake’s Parisian Version of ‘Thriller’. The track kicks off with the familiar chords of the original but they are quickly bent into a riser that enhances the intensity. An evil laugh brings listeners into the darkness. A sound which is chopped, looped and tweaked. The hair-raising cackle provides the foundation as Snake brings in snapping trap drums and deep bass. The way DJ Snake takes something so simple and builds it into a such a massive tune is a big part of what has made him so successful over the years. Stream DJ Snake’s ‘Thriller Parisian Version’ below.
