PolSky - Song for the Silver Surfer (Aphrodite Remix)

Song for the Silver Surfer (Aphrodite Remix) - PolSky (Pop) PolSky’s latest remix of track Song for the Silver Surfer takes an EDM/Dubstep approach to the original release, lead first and foremost by the sharp kick set front and center. The mix couldn’t be anymore different than the original, which plays much more like a sweeping ballad—in fact, you could have told us this was an entirely new original track and we’d be none the wiser. However, what we appreciate the most about this remix is that while expanding the song with additional instrumental breaks and nearly overhauling the vocals, it does not abandon those vocals in favor of dance club production, and thus maintains the song’s sing-along-ability while still extending the mix at the same time. The remix has a real “jump up and down” or “mosh pit” feel to it—you envision a crowd of people all flinging into each other as they jam out to this track. Personally, we think calling this track a remix is a disservice—it’s a reinvention.
