Now that trap is reviving itself among the crowds of today, I felt that it is time to bring forth some of the best trap music from around the web. Where better to start than with remixes of the well famous, techno DJ known as Darude. Trap stars have now decided to pay homage to this icon, and they’ve done it very well. We have two very good remixes for you today, but it is up to you to decide who’s is better.
Darude – Sandstorm (Candylands OG Remix)
This producer started making remixes in April 2011 and from the looks of his soundcloud has an impressive repetoir of songs ranging from dubstep, trap, drum&bass, and even some electro. He became well known when cCrizzly added this song to his setlist a few months ago and people went nuts. His remix is impressive, but it retains a dubsteppy feel too hard to ignore. Candyland also dials back the original speed of the track. Nevertheless, the bass is huge, enough where I was concerned that the EQ on my speakers were wrong. My speakers could barely contain the power, so god help your soul.
It’s all in the name, really. It seems that this man has been around the industry since 2009 and has seriously put himself out there. His song list is more impressive than most producers I have ever seen. I wouldn’t be able to fit them all on one page, as he cranks out one tune a week. He dabbles in trap, electro, and moombah, but most of his remixes are dubstep. This song is one of his few trap releases, and boy is it gold. The bass is amazing, and the twist put on the song is a breath of fresh air. He found a nice balance of retaining the simplicity of the original song while giving the listening audience something new to dance to. For DJ’s out there it especially goes well if lyrics are added in. I won’t be surprised if this song ends up on every DJ’s setlist for 2012, as it is that amazing. Then again, it is up to you to decide.
After this sampling dish if you feel you need a little more trap in your life, make sure to check out Candyland’s and OH SNAP!!’s SoundCloud pages.
If you still need more, here are a few other producers worth looking at: CRNKN, and Bird Peterson (Drankenstein).
