Five Hours (Empia Remix)
There’s no doubt that Deorro’s ‘Five Hours’ is one of the best electro house tracks of 2014, but there has been much contention over the inclusion of DyCy’s lyrical work in the vocal edition. Many listeners have voiced their preference for the instrumental version, feeling the unnecessary addition takes away from the melodic power of the original. Here to put those quarrels to rest, Sydney’s Empia has shone a new light on the validity of the lyrics by flipping it into a glorious trap experience. In stripping back the energized house beat into a more reserved vibe, the emotion of the song comes to the fore and reaches the euphoric peak it had always intended. More impressive though, he’s managed to keep those iconic vocal chops intact as a proper tribute to the artist’s work, and that’s the level of detail that elevates this to be exactly our kind of remix.
