Monday Choon: Marshmello, ILLENIUM - Close My Eyes (Feat. SACHA)

 

Marshmello is back with “Close My Eyes”, teaming up with Illenium and Sacha for a track that blends emotional electronic production with a more atmospheric, melodic sound. The production carries that familiar Marshmello energy but is given an added depth through Illenium’s cinematic style, with layered synths, subtle drops and a polished build that keeps the track moving without becoming overly aggressive. Sacha’s vocals are the real standout for me, bringing an emotional and almost haunting quality to the track that fits perfectly with the production. It’s one of those songs that feels equally at home on a late-night drive or with the volume turned up on a big sound system.

Monday Choon: Alan Walker - Sing Me To Sleep (Marshmello Remix)

This remix has been out since early August and has been a firm favourite on my playlist since. Alan Walker originally born in Northampton, England but grew up in Norway shot to stardom with his hit track "Faded" which escalted ever further after Tiesto did a remix of it. His second offering, Sing Me To Sleep turned out to be another great track by the Norwegian DJ. There have been a number of remixes done for it but this one by the mysterious Marshmello remains to be the best I've heard for this particular song. It just ticks all the right boxes for a great remix. He's changed the complexity of the song but still kept it recognisable to the original, adding his only style to it. Give a listen, you won't be disappointed.

Monday Choons: Far East Movement x Marshmello - Freal Luv ft. Chanyeol & Tinashe

We all remember the Far East Movement, their cult hit Like a G6 became an anthem for many things but did you know that was released 6 years ago? Yup, how's that for knowing that time flies! Well since then they have released a number songs but none with the same popularity as Like a G6. This time round they partened with that odd DJ that no one knows who the hell is. When he first got onto the scene I honeslty thought he was just there to poke fun at Deadmau5 but he is a legit DJ, who am I talking about? None other than Marshmello. He recently killed it at Sun Burn Festival in Mumbai sending the crowds into raptures by dropping some Bollywood tracks during his set. Freal Luv is the collaboration between Far East Movment and Marshmello, it also features Chanyeol and Tinashe.
