Few were aware that One Direction’s Liam Payne had turned to music production as a new hobby, finding an additional route to stardom under the moniker, Payno. However, his latest remix of Cheryl’s “I Don’t Care” is making a statement across the electronic music community as he tips his hat to future house tastemakers Tchami and Oliver Heldens. Though it is undeniable that Payno’s offering resides outside of his comfort zone, his exploration of different sounds and styles has heightened his credibility as a producer in a matter of days. A svelte mixture of percussive grooves, gritty synth structure and minimal drops, Liam’s interpretation of “I Don’t Care” stands strong against his newest rivals.
