Monday
Y2K declared that he was going to make the "
sickest paper planes remix of all time." The next day he qualified that by saying it was "
pop punk" but also "
the most ridiculous thing" he'd ever made. Now approximately 100 hours later, we've got just that, a "
Paper Planes" remix like no other. Its certainly got
Y2K written all over it (and I don't mean his producer tag), its got his usual loon call, amidst his strong drum work. But there's not just that, its got his a great emo guitar riff that sends the 2007 track nearly a decade back to the likes of Blink-182 and Fall Out Boy. It's hard not to be in awe of
Y2K's musical ability and production prowess. The man can take just about any track and transform it into something else entirely, and what makes that even better is that the original essence somehow remains. Taking the downtempo rap ballad and turning it into pop punk is actually genius, as it brings The Clash "
Straight To Hell" sample back to its 'roots'. Download
