Blissed out balearic dubstep? That's a new one in the world of ridiculous crossover sub-genres. But it's arrived, in the form of a remix from Deadmau5' (pronounced Deadmouse, pictured above) forthcoming EP. I Remember, in it's original format, is a cheesy commercial electro-house track with a breathy female vocal, sounds like it's from 2001 and is destined to appear on 'Best Summer Dance Anthems' compilations until the end of time.
However, throw Caspa into the mix and the track becomes an altogether different proposal. Retaining the summery feel, melodic backing and an acceptable snippet of the vocal, Caspa then chucks in some restrained dubstep beats and a whole load of warped bass in his traditional style. It's still very poppy, but will win over discerning dance music listeners as well as those just starting to get their heads around dubstep as a genre. What with the Skream remix of La Roux's In For The Kill getting several daytime plays on Radio 1 it seems we could be on the cusp of dubstep's explosion into the mainstream. And like it or not it's remixes like this that will lead the way.
