SANDER VAN DOORN, MARTIN GARRIX & DVBBS featuring ALEESIA, “Gold Skies” (Ambi-DXtrous remix) (free DL)
It always takes a lot of effort to transform a song a lot of people love, but L.A.-based, Ohio-bred Ambi-DXtrous totally gets how to refashion “Gold Skies”, the late 2014 dance hit that was the concoction of Sander van Doorn, Martin Garrix and DVBBS. Ambi-Dxtrous focuses on a bright and sunny remix rather than a wistful, dreamy one, and it works well, not shaking up the song structure too much but adding well placed effects that take nothing away from the original. It’s guaranteed to work well if DJ’s drop it mid-set to keep their dancers giddy and shaking it on the dance floor. It’s a free download too, submitted as part of a talent contest, and even if it doesn’t place in the contest it’s still a winner for Ambi-DXtrous well worth hearing.
