Ask anyone for the name of the biggest DJ / Producer on the planet and one name will keep coming up; Paul Oakenfold. Widely credited with ‘discovering’ Ibiza and bringing dance music to the masses, he remains at the forefront of electronic music and is one of a select few that can truly be called a ‘superstar DJ’.
This status has allowed him to work with some amazing artists such as Madonna, Pharrell and Brittany Murphy, but arguably none more talented than One Republic’s Ryan Tedder.
Ryan Tedder shot to fame after the One Republic collaboration with Timbaland, ‘Apologize’ topped charts worldwide, becoming one of the most played tracks ever on radio, and making the voice of Ryan Tedder instantly recognisable.
In ‘Not Over’, Ryan Tedder’s songwriting skills come to the forefront as he makes cutting edge dance music accessible to the masses with a haunting vocal full of hooks that keep the track swirling around your head long after it’s ended. For this release, Paul Oakenfold has called in the skills of a range of quality remixers to ensure this track can be heard on a wide range of the best dancefloors.
The lead mix comes from Robert Vadney whose ‘3AM Goodbye Remix’ makes the most of Ryan Tedder’s incredible vocals with a hugely atmospheric breakdown, sure to dominate dancefloors over the coming months. Carl Noren oversees a cooler electro-edged workout, while Dirty Freq & Swedish Egil step up to deliver a deeper groove. Joey Modus provides a warmer house mix with DJ Lynnwood adding the final touch with his stripped back, electronic approach. ‘Not Over’ represents a fusion of talent that has come together to create something special.
Dancefloors everywhere will surely agree.
