Alesso smartly maximizes the melancholic essence of Keane's original and intensifies its joyful spirit with a few powerful new sonic twists that include a hyper-melodic new electro pulse that explodes into a soaring, stadium-sized new synth riff that instantly brings on the goosebumps. Alesso's remix of Keane "Silenced By The Night" pretty much picks up at the high where Avicii's "Levels" left off, and will surely be a massive smash that will take over dancefloors all spring and summer.
In a recent interview, Alesso was asked about Sweden's ongoing love affair with great, timeless melodies that now also marks the work of a new generation of Swedish DJs, like Avicii and Alesso. "I have no idea why that is," he smiles. "It could be the weather [in Sweden], you know, you have to find something to do. The winters are bad and the recent summers haven’t been great, so maybe it gives you a little bit more time to work on stuff, like music."
