Gorillaz - Dare

, Mar 10, 2006

The original mix is a smash hit on its own. With its big bouncy beats, its not possible for anyone not to like this song. Yeah, sure the lyrics are repetitive, but at least its not Crazy Frog.

The Soulwax Remix is a bit more mysterious with the use of the "humming" sound. The new revised drum beat makes for a more mysterious effect.

The DFAs 12 minute Mix is a really example of nice House. The use of cow bells and the strumming bass guitar make for a strong beat (of course not forgetting the drums), and therefore making the song great. And the surprising use of 2-Ds vocal recording instead of Noodles make for a better mix. 5 minutes into the song marks the end of the vocal session in the song, and into the instrumental sessions. The instrumental session is on a class of its own, with the drum beats and organ sound effects, it really makes it for great house song. The ending of the mix is simplified down to leaving the drums brnig it to a close.

Overall, Gorillaz have proven themselves worthy again by producing one great song, and, having other DJs perfect its quality.
