The Notorious B.I.G., and the production software Ableton Live to construct the remix.ĭirlam walked us through all the changes he made to the original version of Adele's hit, and provided audio snippets of the unmixed elements in the remix. So I get on the equalizer and take out the low end frequencies, and turn up the higher frequencies to accentuate her voice."įrom there Dirlam used heavy bass lines, gliding synthesizers, verses lifted from rappers For this song we didn't have an a capella to use, and I just wanted her voice, so to start I had this drum kick that I wanted to eliminate. Then I took the original and took things out that I didn't want. "I started using synthesizers, making all these crazy noises and getting weird with it. "Here you have claps, guitars, bass, piano, her voice, and that's it."ĭirlam says the first thing he did was to learn the song on the piano.
"Rolling In The Deep" is perfect remix fodder because, as Dirlam explains, the song, as produced by Paul Epworth*, is stripped down to the basics. Certain songs have a lot going on in them that are really hard to eliminate when all you want is the vocal sample or basic idea," Dirlam says. "When you're in the remixing game you look for certain things in a song. I think I did that with this."ĭirlam has been playing his hip-hop infused version of the track all summer he sat down with me to talk about the process of turning Adele's song into a dance track. Whatever makes you excited or happy in the moment, or has the girl next to you singing at the top of her lungs, that's what you want in a summer song. "You think about the summer, everyone is happy, tan, they have time off to go on vacation, you want music that's going to be a soundtrack to your life during that time. "Summer jams have to be danceable," he says. Dirlam loved the original, but wanted to make something more fit for a summer dance party. One of the earliest of remixes of the song was made by Liam Dirlam, a producer who goes under the alias Voodoo Farm. MTV reported that Steve Angello, David Guetta, Laidback Luke, DJ Chuckie and Avicii all played takes on the song at the Tomorrowland Festival. Alastair Duncan, a publicist for DJ Kaskade, told me this week that at every major music festival he went to this summer, he heard countless versions of the single from Adele's second album, and in July This summer, at electronic music festivals across the country, Adele's voice rang out strong time and time again. The production is sparse, leaving ample room to work around her powerful voice. But that's partly what makes it such a great song to remix. It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a dance track: Adele's vocals, rather than any type of groove, are the focal point, and they lay long and heavy over a relatively flat bass kick. Part of what makes the case for "Rolling In The Deep" as the song of the summer is the number of people who danced to it. "As opposed to a lot of other videos that can start off big and then taper off, or start off big and remain huge, it really grew gradually." "If you look at the chart of how the views spread for that video, it wasn't until the summer that it really took off," Allocca says. YouTube trends manager Kevin Allocca says that it took some time for the song to gather steam.
The music video for the song has over 123 million views on YouTube. 1 onīillboard's Hot 100 chart in May, and stayed there for seven weeks straight. You knew what you were doing."Rolling In The Deep" came out last November, not when summer jams usually get released, butĪdele's monster hit didn't reach its peak popularity until the summertime.
