A new single release from DopeSick is a remix of a track previously released, and this remix is done by Rude Minor, who took the original and gave it an entirely different feel, aesthetic, and atmosphere.
The original version of "God the Devil" is actually pretty heavy. It's got an edgy tone, it's hard with an alternative rock and even sort of metal style, crunchy guitars, anthemic vocals, and a cinematic backbone.
I definitely dig the original version as well, but the Rude Minor remix brings out such a unique drive to the song that makes it feel brighter somehow.
It's comprised of some brilliant synthesizers that come together along with that dance-pop beat, bringing it into a tech-house feel at times, but it also includes a lot of classic synth-pop attributes as well.
The tech-house aspect comes from the beat and how he layered them, but it was also in the way the producer kept things high energy. The way vocals were incorporated into the track made it feel like 's an original song as opposed to a remix.
It takes a great producer to be able to pull it off the way that he did it, and I really feel like this remix is one of the best I've heard so far this year.
You have pianos, swelling synth pads that add that spaciousness to the background, and really smart approaches to build and climactic sections, still letting the vocals come through with the same anthemic power that they did for the original track.
This is a danceable remix. It's hard not to get your body moving with this track as soon as it starts, but it also has that expansive feel to it, and as it unfolds, you hear new keys coming into play adding different textures. Arranging classic club-style buildups, and it never losing the catchy pop-sensibility or hooks that it began with was outstanding.
This is really eye-opening simply because the original track, all those still amazing and driving, was completely different. It's a heavy alternative rock track to begin with.
It's as if the producer heard this version in his head when he listened to the rock version for the first time.
I think it takes a special kind of vision to be able to hear something and envision something completely different.
When you hear a song, most people don't envision what else that it could be musically.
That's like a special kind of skill, and I think it comes to certain people naturally. The hard part is bringing that vision to fruition, which Rude Minor did an amazing job with.
The vocals are still a major key factor in the track, giving you those hooks and sort of powerhouse rock performances.
I just like how this track plays out. I like where it goes and how it expands, branches out, and still has this punch to it.
The message behind the song is still there, and some of the edginess is as well, just in a different form.
This is a song I would listen to and then suggest going back to listen to the original version of it as well.
When you do that, you can really hear the night and day difference.
He definitely stayed true to a lot of elements of the original song but wasn't afraid to do his thing and build on that vision he must have had.
This was definitely addictive, had a lot of electric texture and tone to chew on, and felt good to listen to.
You will definitely be moving your body when you hear the song, as it does hit the house, electronic, EDM, and techno styles, all while placing those heavy-handed, closed-fisted rock vocals perfectly.
Rude Minor took this track to a different place, and I found myself really getting engulfed by this version.
Now, having said that, I love the original too. The original track sonically invasive rock banger for sure.
This is a perfect example of how certain producers can sculpt a song.
Definitely check out "God the Devil (Rude Minor Remix)" and the original version of "God the Devil" as well.
Both of these are amazingly worth your time, and there are plenty of other releases from Singles to EPs and albums released by DopeSick that you can delve into as well, including the A Violent Happy Place album.
Check all of this out right now so you can hear exactly where I'm coming from, and remember where you heard this first.
