Most are familiar with the catchy tune "Pumped Up Kicks" by L.A.-based indie-pop group, Foster the People. However, most people have never heard any of their other songs, and they're missing out. I discovered this awesome Synthetrix remix of Foster the People's "Waste" a few weeks back and I have been jamming to it ever since.
Synthetrix, aka Vic Stapf, is a DJ and remixing artist. (He also happens to be from L.A.) I have always appreciated a remix that leaves much of the song in tact while adding new and unique variations to the the rhythms and choruses, as Synthetrix does so well. The beat starts off intensely and the synth-bass melody gets you grooving as the chorus definitively rings in: "everyday that you're gonna waste...". I actually heard the remixed version before I heard the original. After listening to the original version one can really appreciate how Synthetrix reworked this song into an even more danceable tune--in a genre he dubbed "electropopdancewhatever". There are more Synthetrix remixes on his Soundcloud profile. Enjoy.
