Well… holy shit! Can you say “potential song of the year”? Darth & Vader‘s astounding remix of Revolver’s “Tomorrowland” SHOULD make year-end countdowns across all music media outlets. Unfortunately, we don’t have any information on a release date for the original or remix. But, while things are hush-hush in both camps, I can talk about the 3 min 30 sec preview. Darth & Vader provide their brash and head-pounding Electro tricks around the original’s main hook. The wildly stuttered break-beats and seizure-like crescendos are dizzying and explosive, while the funkiness of the main hook shines through. Absolute perfection…and it’s only the preview!
The Brazilian guys of Darth & Vader seem to keep their biographical history on the down-low, and let the music do the talking. They’ve been releasing superb original tracks and remixes since 2010, with featured tracks like “Return of The Jedi”, “LukeSkyTampa” and a massive remix of “Hey Yo” by DJ Maxsie and Alex Speaker. As I look at their tour schedule, their fame and success may change, soon. They’re passing through North America in the coming months, and I have a feeling we will be hearing a lot more of them in the near future.
Revolver – Tomorrowland (Darth&Vader Remix)
***Side note: For you sample-junkies, the main sampled hook from the track is from the 1979 stand-out single, “Wear It Out” from Disco-Funk trio, “Stargard”. It’s been a go-to sample for many House tunes over the past 3 decades.***
