Florence + The Machine / Drumming Song (Jack Beats Remix)
I think i might actually be in love with Florence...but that aside we all know Drumming Song is pretty thunderously epic, so its nice to hear Jack Beats take it to the club. The Jack Beats remix of Drumming Song is as formidable as remixes come. Florence's vocals are tampered with but thankfully not so she sounds like a completely donked chavvy chipmunk, instead Jack Beats creates brand new (yes brand new!) vocal hooks and melodies and layers them across a thrilling mix of club beats and synths, with a nice touch of strings which stay true to the roots of Drumming Song. To be honest the Jack Beats remix has it all: addictive hooks, a tempo moderately above the original yet not quite at a completely donked level, a big fat bassline, squelchy synths, the Drumming Song chorus (which always helps) and a freaking piano breakdown! There's even a tiny hint of dubstep which creeps in at one point. All in all, this a remix with substance, style and DRUMS.
Amen to that. Love that song :)
