Sam Paganini's ‘Rave’ was a huge record for Drumcode. It represented a definitive moment for the label, as well as being a pivotal release in the club techno movement of the last decade. When originally released back in 2014, it instantly became an anthem for techno heads and DJs, but it also crossed over into the mainstream with mass support coming from all corners of the electronic spectrum. Since that 2014 release, ‘Rave’ has gone on to generate over 100 million streams, which is a testament to its popularity and global appeal.
Here we see Adam Beyer and Layton Giordani join forces to remix this illustrious title, giving it a fresh and dynamic perspective for 2022.
‘Rave’, as remixed by Adam Beyer and Layton Giordani, respectfully nurtures the iconic essence of the original mix, including the distinctive riff, but it also dramatically ups the heart rate with more drive, energy, power, and impact.
The original breakdown and famous ‘tricked you!’ drop has now evolved into a more pronounced double break, with the second one now including an ominous war cry before that immediately recognisable burst of detached melody drops you back into those driving Beyer / Giordani signature pounding rhythms.
A highlight of all of Adam and Layton’s recent gigs, having grabbed the audience's attention, this remix goes above and beyond peak-time music. Add to this the long list of supporting artists, and you get what is clearly set to be a track that will define the coming summer.
