Velcro City Records latest release, a collaboration between Oh Shit! and Night Drugs, on paper looks like something Binary might put out. Remixes from Bit Funk, Diamond Cut, The Phantoms Revenge, and Binary artist Fabian highlight the release. The original is bangin, and all the remixes take the song in a new direction. Today we've got our two favorite remixes from the release. One being Fabian's, the other Bit Funk's. Definitely head over to VCR's website to find out how you can purchase the release. The song is really a killer, and all of the remixes are worthy of your dollar.
Oh Shit! & Night Drugs - Everybody Needs (Fabian Remix)
Heart This Song On Hypem
Fabian's sort of feels like a little story to me. Like a bedtime story, followed by a dream. Its like you're being sung to sleep. 'Everybody needs someone to make them feel alright... Look into their eyes.... I look around the room and all I can see is you.'

The verse pulses along, and then before you know it, it drops away and the last words fade into a filter. When the chorus finally hits, its as if you've been transplanted into a dream, where all the words you just heard have come true. The emotion of the lyrics hadn't necessarily set in yet... but once the song fully drops, its like being thrown into exactly that situation. Its almost like 'looking into their eyes' for the first time. The song just OPENS UP. Really great stuff.

On top of that, it'll really get you moving. While we were on our way up the coast of California on our Pacific Lights Tour, I remember listening to a rough draft of this remix over and over and over again while mountains passed us by. A great memory that just brings up a whole range of emotions for me.
Seriously, just sit back and wait for the full drop here. You'll feel it.

Heart This Song On Hypem
Bit Funk gets a little spacier, a little more dreamy with his take. It's emerged as a favorite of mine, and I have it on a mix thats in my car right now. His version is much grander than Fabian's, and puts a new twist on the song with some talkboxed vocals. Its Bit Funk through and through. I really love that he's developing a signature sound. People are taking notice, and I definitely think its only a matter of time before we're going to start hearing some seriously high profile remixes from him. I'm super proud that our blog was one of the first to write about him.

As usual, its a nice large buildup that's the highlight of the remix. Finishing with the drop at 3:04, its like being launched into the clouds on a cold day.

A great couple of remixes, and a seriously solid release from the guys over at Velcro City. Watch out for Fabian's Beatport Chart, coming up soon!
