Ellie Goulding – Burn (Mat Zo Remix) [Preview]

ellie goulding burn mat zo

After hitting us with a preview of something epic named Pyramid Scheme with Chuck D.  Matan Zohar, or popularly known as Mat Zo, is out with a preview for his new remix of Ellie Goulding’s Burn.  Now the original is one that’s going to have a plethora of remixes, and we’ve already seen Tiesto hit us with his own take on it. (See Tiesto’s Remix here)

The preview starts off  with an almost retro reverb breakdown layered under Goulding’s almost surreal vocals.  This then gives way to way to an Angelic choir and atmospheric synth build up, with a snippet of tambourine samples thrown in. This then drops to a progressive house groove with  hints of trance elements embedded into it.  All this plus echoed cut up samples of Ellie’s vocals make for a pretty intelligent production that make you want to move your feet to the rhythm. The second breakdown sheds a lot of more light on Goudlings uplifting voice, till he unleashes his electro ingenuity after winding synth samples to give you a powerful electro drop.  This time with a big room chord progression added to the twist.

The remix is soon to be released on Polydor Recordings. Stay tuned to Bangin Beats for more info on when it drops.

With Ellie agreeing and letting the master perform his magic on her wonderful track, Tiesto in less than two weeks brings out his club rendition of “Burn”.

Avicii Premieres His New Track for Lotus F1; “Speed” (Burn & Lotus F1 Team Mix) [Free Download]

Avicii-2

Lighting his way to the top of music charts around the world, international acclaimed Producer/DJ Avicii has announced a new collaboration withLotus F1 Team. Fuelled by burn, the new track will interpret Lotus F1 Team’s experiences in motorsport and will take inspiration from the human emotion of the drivers, the ebb and flow of the race and the intensity of the atmosphere at the racetrack.

In order to develop the new track, Avicii will immerse himself in the world of F1 by visiting Lotus F1 Team at their Enstone home for an intensive course in Formula 1. The DJ will take to the track with Lotus F1 Team drivers, record their heartbeats and tap into the emotions of the race before translating his findings into music.

He premiered the new track yesterday at the Burn Yard at Budapest.

The production itself does exactly what Avicii said it would do. It’s got alot of acoustic elements, which signifies Avicii’s newest experimental style.  It starts off with a serene paino chord and guitar riff breakdown, showcasing the driver’s concentration and preparation before getting behind the wheel. The build up has got a more intense piano chord progression and gives way to a melodic synth riff  layered at the drop with a string elements. The second breakdown features an overdrive electric guitar. Till it goes right back to the breakdown.

Avicii had said this about the production: “Lotus F1 Team are very passionate. They want to win every race and they are always looking for creative solutions to get them in front. This is exactly how I like to approach making music. The races are very intense so I am working with Lotus F1® Team to explore the complex emotions of the drivers and how they feel when they are behind the wheel. That is the emotion that I am trying to capture with this new track and hopefully we will inspire a new set of people to think a bit differently and explore their own creative talents.”
