What's The Story?
Boys Noize is a German DJ & producer, best known for remixing pop & rock tracks left right and center. Jeffer is from the Starter EP according to Grooveshark. If that's incorrect, blame the shark.
Who's To Blame?
A man who would once eat nothing but grapes and hot wings for a week at a time.
Why ♥ It?
I apologize in advance if this is just rambling and doesn't actually make any sense; I don't know if I can quantify the parts of this that I really really like or not. I guess that's probably true for anything I write about, but this time I'm aware of it.
The transitions in this song are what really draw me in. There are two main parts, and the way that Boys Noize alternates between them is what does it for me. The best comparison I can draw is that key change after the guitar solo in Livin' On A Prayer; like or lump that song, it's generally agreeable that the change is ideally placed. I get that same intrinsic enjoyment from 5 or 6 spots in this track where the DJ alternates from one part to another. The first such example is at 1:01; after 30 seconds or so of the main line, there's a quick and smooth transition to another part and another key (maybe?). That exact same swap is pulled again at 2:33 to similar results.
That's not all though. The transition back from the second part is also appealing, and feels something like a comedown from a gradual high. From 1:08, the track comes further and further down before another sudden swap at 1:24.
These fluent changes make for a song that, overall, is rewarding when paid attention to, and still a bumpin' dance/techno track if not.
NB: in two posts, I've compared Rilo Kiley to Carrie Underwood, and Boys Noize to Bon Jovi. Why are you still here?
