Fun. - We Are Young (feat. Janelle Monae) (Alvin Risk Remix Part II)

A few months ago, the supremely talented Alvin Risk added a much-needed club inflected slant on Fun.'s Janelle Monae-assisted chart smash "We Are Young". But the good news is that, he's now gone back in on it, and created something that maintains that anthemic feel that was prevalent in his original rework, but switches up the feel to something that we've become more accustomed to hearing from the producer. Lasers, insanely precise vocal sampling/pitching and yawning basslines all figure here, and this now staid and over-saturated track now has yet another lease of life. I remember when he played this out during his set supporting Example in April, so glad we finally get to hear the studio version.

Fun - We Are Young (Feat. Janelle Monae) (Alvin Risk Remix)

I'm a massive fan of basically everything that Alvin Risk does. The US producer is currently one of the hottest properties in the EDM game right now, what with touring with Skrillex and gaining masses of support from some of the most respected musicians on the scene. And to add to his startlingly exceptional back-catalogue, here is his club-friendly remix of Fun's Janelle Monae-featuring single "We Are Young", due out on Atlantic Records on 20th March. Displaying a different side to Alvin than we're used to, it's more club banger than complex moombahton, but it's massive all the same. Be sure to watch out for this guy in 2012, big things are expected.
