Remix contests always attract great talent, but often times things can get a little predictable when all the up-and-comers think they’re the next Tiësto, putting out hard-hitting synth reworks with distortion to spare. Fortunately for you though, Saite Zwei has entered Riva Starr’s “Nobody’s Fool” Beatport remix competition, and it is anything but regular. The track starts out with a set of undulating synth chords, smoothly transitioning from note to note with a slight pop from the filter they're put through (nothing too crazy there). Stay tuned for just a little longer though, and things start to get really interesting.

It’s really tough to sound good and different these days, but Saite Zwei has definitely done it with this remix.
