Dillon Francis gives away coveted remix of Passion Pit’s ‘Carried Away’
Dillon Francis, Taco Bell-enthusiast and alleged Tiësto doppelgänger, has released his delightful moombahton remix to "Carried Away" as a free download, just as he did with his recent trap remix to Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie."
Passion Pit – Carried Away (Dillon Francis Remix)
Dillon's productions personify his own individuality, and in this case, over an amalgamation of lovestep, acid, and moombahton. Blissful chopped vocals float over the original chord progression before dropping into an avant garde acid-infused 112 bpm soiree, to wit, Dillon Francis in a nutshell.
Classixx preview ‘Holding On’ off forthcoming debut album
Los Angeles-based production duo Tyler Blake and Michael Davis (or Classixx for those of you who tend towards those sticky sweet nu-disco sounds already) have long been known for spot on remixes for Phoenix, Mayer Hawthorne, Passion Pit, YACHT -- the list goes on. They've put out some original work, but only now have announced the impending release of their first full length artist album Hanging Gardens on May 14th. The first tune off the LP, "Holding On," is about as shiny as they come. Classixx recruits all the best elements of a blissful dance track -- a snarling bass, twinkly top line, strings, piano riffs, and heartbreaking vocal. It's an Endless Summer, y'all.
