Ryan Hemsworth Remixes The 1975’s “Sex”
This is something of a litmus test for Ryan Hemsworth’s esteemed (named one of Fact Mag’s top 15) remix ability. We know he can flip a Three 6 Mafia or Jeremih tune on its head, but what about a mediocre British boy band whose lead singer has a Skrillex haircut? Now that’s a challenge. The 1975 aren’t really offensive in any way, they’re just kind of… meh, but Hemsworth manages to get the most of the Mancunian’s stultified vocals. Clearly aimed at headphone listening, Hemsworth’s take on “Sex” isn’t going to please most of his fans, but the twinkling piano driven beat is unobtrusively emotive, a result many producers struggle to touch upon. So Mr. Hemsworth, you pass the test, but maybe stay away from the boy bands next time. Stream and download below. (Via.)
