3) Collarbones – “Turning” – Flume Remix
2015 was a fairly quiet year for Flume, even as details of his forthcoming album spilled out slowly across the EDM blogosphere. His summer remix of Collarbones “Turning,” however, was a welcome release that saw the future bass star giving the 2014 track a fresh overhaul, complete with cool, head nodding beats, stark vocals and minimal electronic instrumentation.
Flume’s lean approach to the new production proves that less is more, issuing restraint for most of the mix while offering up a re-imagined take on the song with plenty of variation to keep the listener from growing bored. Flume has a penchant for balancing high energy beats and melody, forging a unique identity with everything he touches and managing to make music that is equally suited for the dance floor as it is for headphones listening. His remix of “Turning” is no exception to this rule, and its originality lands it at the number 3 spot.
