Above & Beyond ft. Zoë Johnston – Always (SLANDER Remix)
SLANDER have been known to create a heavy festival trap tune or two, but the duo go the melodic route in their remix of Above & Beyond’s “Always” featuring Zoë Johnston. Derek Andersen and Scott Land “amp up the original’s delicate, downtempo instrumentals with a percussive buildup and a melodic, dubby bassline – and the result is both dreamy and dance-worthy.” The guys keep the ethereal voice of the British singer as the main focal point while delivering stirring melodies and heaven trap vibes in their version.
Here’s what the Los Angeles based duo have to say about creating their remix: “Getting asked by Above & Beyond to remix a song from their new album was a dream come true for us. We have both been fans of them since we first got introduced to electronic music and have been to countless of their shows. The emotions Above & Beyond are able to convey with their music stick with their listeners for a lifetime, and that was always something we wanted to replicate with our project. We’ve had so many life changing experiences watching them live with our friends in the past, happy memories that we will never forget. Those feelings are what sparked us to do our bootleg remix of Love Is Not Enough back in 2014 which showed off the emotional side of our music for the very first time. Now with this new remix we wanted to capture that same feeling we produced in 2014 and bring it into the present day as best as we could.
Thank you for being with us Always. We love you more than you know.”
