I didn’t make it in time, missed the contest deadline by 2 hours (Splice had the deadline at 6 am in the morning), therefore my remix is only available this time on Youtube.
A classic hit recently crossed my way: Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel alias Simon & Garfunkel published their masterpiece “Sound of Silence” in 1964, a long, long time before we had music streaming. It reached Gold in the Unites States and sold more than one million physical copies.
It’s a classic hit, kids are singing it in music lessons in school. Simon & Garfunkel have become a little older in the meantime but the song still sounds great.
And it is is still super popular. The original version by Simon & Garfunkel currently has 165 Mio. plays on Spotify. The heavy metal band “Disturbed” created a great remake of this song with the razor blade voice of David Draiman, it has even more than 214 Mio plays on Spotify.
Update: Now, 6 years later, in May 2024 “Sound of Silence” is in the German charts again with a great remix from Cyrill.
The Karaoke version for anyone with a razorblade voice.
Proud to present my latest remix: “Down For Anything” is a track originally by Sam Feldt & Möwe. It was a pleasure to work with the melody and the great vocals of Karra. I tried to give it my own touch. If you like it, you can support my music with a vote at Spinnin’ Records:
Another excellent song was released under the label of Kygo: “Reminding Me To Forget” is a track composed by David Phelan, Alex Oriet and Phil Plested. Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll alias Kygo added his unique vocal-chopping signature in the production process and created an excellent dance track.
David Phelan and Alex Oriet have composed other famous tracks as well, e.g. one of them is “Dusk Till Dawn” which was produced together with Greg Kurstin for ZAYN.
