The fusion of electronic and trap has been a preferred one at HD, and what this particular sonic development has done is welcome the sampling of extraordinary songs we would not normally come across. Beat maestros like Rimshox incorporate such a blend, often giving tastes of completely uncommon cultures in the form of his incredible remixes. "Tere Liye" is his latest, stripped from a Bollywood movie’s soundtrack and sent through some heavy reconstruction. The result is a remix that any admirer of this style would seriously acknowledge, however, and we definitely encourage you to take a listen to it. Setting off with a nifty vocal slice from the original helps in the immediate enticement of the piece, and with exotic percussion alongside, the unexpected, buoyant drop certainly stupefies. Trappy breaks that are escorted by glitchy synths, and the improvising exploitation of the sole sample gives this remix a fresh feel throughout its progression. The Newcastle-resident tones it down on the second drop, however, as he still manages to keep the distinct character of this rework by running the vocal cuts through a siphon of effects and filters continually. It all works to generate and maintain an immense amount of intrigue, and, as admirers of his past work, the remix furthers our affection for the under-the-radar producer.
