Armin van Buuren vs. NERVO feat. Laura V – Turn This Love Around (Starkillers Remix) [November 15 – Armada Music]
So far in 2013, we’ve seen some pretty huge collaborations. This might be one of the toughest to predict, but proves to be one of the most intriguing collaborations during this year. Trance master and #2 DJ in the world, Armin van Buuren, teams up with Australian duo and #14 on the chart, NERVO. The track also includes vocalist Laura V, whose name you’ll recognize from one of Armin’s earlier singles, “Drowning”. This track got a huge in electro house remix from American producer, Starkillers, and the sound is incredible.
Interestingly enough, NERVO helped out only on the production side of this track, so the vocals are solely those of Laura V. The first verse of vocals comes in over a simple percussion sequence. Once the chorus ends, the percussion fades, and a chopped of sequence of chords brings in the high-octane melody that we’ve come to expect from Starkillers. This sound then morphs into the buildup, as Laura V‘s riffs bring the drop closer and closer. An incredibly heavy baseline and screaming big-room synths really bring this track to life, and show the listener no mercy by going hard for almost a minute with no breaks.
This remix will drop on November 15 via Armada Music. Even though this track does fit on the “big-room spectrum,” I’m quite impressed by the quality of this remix from Starkillers. For now, though, enjoy the preview!
