In an exhilarating blend of classic and contemporary, DRMAGDN, the versatile Drummer/DJ, has released a powerful remix of The Beatles’ iconic song “Something.” This new rendition, available on major streaming platforms, is more than just a remix; it’s a tribute that beautifully bridges the gap between the timeless appeal of The Beatles and the pulsating energy of modern electronic music.
A Creative Leap with The Beatles’ Legacy
After signing with BMG, DRMAGDN received the unique opportunity to delve into George Harrison’s catalog. He seized this chance to remix “Something,” his favorite Beatles track. The remix, featuring Michelle Ray (from Team Blake on Season 4 of “The Voice”) and other notable artists, elevates the classic to a new dimension. The track stands out with its memorable drum fills and an electronic flair, achieving what many covers and remixes strive for but seldom reach: it does justice to the original while adding its own distinctive touch.
A Nostalgic Music Video Journey
The accompanying music video deepens the homage to The Beatles. It follows DRMAGDN as he visits significant locations from The Beatles’ first U.S. tour during the Beatlemania era in 1964, including JFK Airport, Ed Sullivan Theatre, and Carnegie Hall. This visual journey not only celebrates the song but also the enduring legacy of The Beatles in the American cultural landscape.
The All-Star Team Behind the Remix
The remix boasts contributions from an impressive lineup of musicians. Dave Eggar adds his Grammy-winning strings, while Danny Flam brings his expertise on the horns, previously showcased in Kanye West and Rihanna’s “All Of The Lights.” Oscar Albis-Rodriquez’s skills on the guitar and bass, along with Andy Vandette’s vinyl mastering, known for his work with David Bowie and U2, further enrich the track.
