The Prodigy is always a favorite to remix, but it's rare that I get an e-mail telling me why the remixer didn't like the original. Usually it's "Oh I loved it and I wanted to put my spin on it." But Germany's Dirty Disco Youth was dead honest, stating that the original's breaks/dnb feel wasn't his thing, but he felt something special about it and wanted to create a hard electro monster out of it.
Well, goal achieved. His "Omen" remix is hard-hitting, keeping some of the elements of the original which will win over Prodigy fans as well as new kids. Like with his Deadmau5 remix, the Omen cut is nasty and gritty. Definitely something DJs should have in their digital crates.
With support from top-shelf acts like Boys Noize and the Bloody Beetroots, a second EP in the works, and official booking, Dirty Disco Youth is definitely an artist to watch this year.
