Music Review: Too Close - Jason Nevins Radio Edit

So there's this remix of Alex Clare's Too Close by Jason Nevins.


Now, for comparison, heres the original.


I gotta say, I really dig the remix, I dig it much more than the original. Heres my two bits why. I am picky about dub step. Dub step is wonderful when used well and sparingly. I have Skrillix in my music database for shows, but I rarely play it for myself. He overdoes it a lot. Sure he won awards, but still doesn't mean I like it. Art is subjective, get over it.

Well, with Clare's Too Close I always felt that the dub step bass drops were out of place and didn't fit the song as a whole. Nevins' takes the song tweeks it subtly and gives us a version that holds the song in a better place to my ears. The Dub is still there, but more background than foreground.

Some point I'll tell you about my fav Dubber's (lolz), one being Krewella. They rock the hiz-ous.


Thanks for reading,
